Press Release PDF


From the Press Release: "For several months, Vierkant has been in contact with representatives of the [redacted] Corporation negotiating the use of its trademark and logo(s) to use as the basis for new works. This negotiation was to be completed by the opening of this exhibition but has yet to be finalized. As Vierkant’s negotiation with [redacted] Corporation is still ongoing, the pieces installed at Higher Pictures are works in progress until the negotiation is completed. As a show of good faith to [redacted], the works on view will be obscured from view until such a time as the negotiation is completed. [redacted] Corporation, formerly a giant in the world of consumer photography, drew Vierkant’s interest several years ago when they announced they would cease their own manufacturing. The company would reformulate to carry on the essence of the company to a new generation by licensing its brand to other manufacturers, service providers, and, in this case, artists."

The installation images on this page have been blurred to obscure the identity of [redacted] Corporation.
