October 21 - November 18, 2023
From Plush Gallery:
“Plush Gallery presents the 24th solo show of Randall Garrett’s career, an installation entitled, “Upon This Long and Perilous Road.” He has mounted previous solo shows and performances in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Chicago, Santa Fe, Mexico City, and most recently, Oaxaca.
Garrett brought the work for this exhibition to Dallas in a suitcase, having taken it down from the closing of his first solo show ever in Oaxaca City: “Tianguistopia,” an installation made in collaboration with Combo Co, a cultural center there in the city.
The artist splits his time between his studio in Oaxaca, where he has lived for the past year and a half, and Dallas, where he is the long time owner and director of Plush Gallery. His studio in Oaxaca lies down an alleyway in the foothills of the mountains on the edge of Oaxaca City, amongst the goats, sheep, cattle, and milpas (corn fields) which cover much of the land there. Garrett moved to Oaxaca in early 2022, after five years in the megalopolis of Mexico City.
Works in the show include mixed media collage pieces which build on and extend the references in his work to both sacred and profane subjects, ranging from the textures of the street to traditional, albeit remixed, sacred and religious imagery. A selection of assemblage works will be seen as well, like “Ground Beneath Your Feet,” a pair of worn sandals which have been driven through with bent and rusty nails, and given an all over rough and ready finish of golden spray enamel.
For more information, please reach out to the gallery at the number above, or through this email.”
