From October 4th to november 17th
Shawn Huckins is known for his deep technical mastery at the service of humorous works. In his series Shawn questions the relationship of language to social networks: Do social networks affect our ability to show empathy? Do they distance each other from one another? Do they prevent us for no longer seeing what we are looking at?
Shawn Huckins looks at these questions with humor and sophistication, mixing official portraits and American landscapes with short texts in SMS, which stand out as much for their meaning as for their presentation on the web. It confronts the important issues of our society. What would George Washington post on Facebook? How would Lewis and Clark exchange their progress west via Twitter?
The works of Shawn Huckins are painstakingly hand painted, including the texts.
