Celebrate the opening of our newest exhibition, Do Not Strive for Accuracy, the first US solo exhibition by Charles Eladio Beronio. 

This exhibition redirects familiar materials from their typical functions, in order to illuminate submerged narratives about power, authority, speculative capital, and accumulative wealth associated with mass culture. Do Not Strive for Accuracy features lettered drawings of historical texts on canvas, which are gathered from various literary sources, monument plaques and inscriptions, most notably Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations. The show also includes a foreboding suite of stacked milk crates, with pedestrian and construction barrier elements and online retail goods. Other works include a wardrobe rack with hand-dyed “perforated” inside out t-shirts and a stained coil of white picket fence.

Opening night guests will be offered sweets prepared by Shuna Lydon.
