Nick Doyle's Bleached Denim Collages and AI Oracle at Perrotin New York

Nick Doyle's solo exhibition 'Collective Hallucinations' at Perrotin in New York presents bleached and collaged denim works that explore the mythologies of the American West. The show runs from April 24 to May 30, 2026, at 130 Orchard St. Doyle reimagines Ansel Adams photographs, partially obscured by brick walls and chain-link fences, to critique the inaccessibility of the landscape. The centerpiece is 'Mirror, Mirror,' an AI installation featuring Ava, a 'diva oracle' avatar inside a strip-mall-like structure. Doyle uses AI as a tool, comparing it to an X-acto knife or paintbrush, and links the American West's promise of the future to Silicon Valley's AI revolution. The exhibition juxtaposes handcrafted denim collages of aviator sunglasses, cacti, and mountains with digital technology, reflecting on the country's notions of progress.
