This is a really fun accordion that accompanied McGee's second exhibition at Perrotin in April of this year. McGee is a San Francisco based artist and a member of the Mission School, a group of artists who emerged in the 1980s and the 1990s. The movement was characterized as a 'lowbrow art movement' with its members developing hybrid practices that rolled together fugitive urban imagery recycled through the aesthetics of graffiti and mural art, with a strong dose of comics and graphic imagery. McGee's work in particular and his exhibition installations, bring together varied types of works in dynamic configurations that push the boundaries of both the strictures of exhibitions as well as the boundaries of the gallery.
McGee's different styles of work are ideally suited to the accordion format and this work positively hums with visual excitement.
