Patrick Jackson's 'All Signs Fail' at François Ghebaly

exhibition · 2026-07-18

Patrick Jackson's 'All Signs Fail' is showcased by François Ghebaly, featuring an extensive installation of new sculptures and visuals. The exhibition is divided into four segments: a massive billboard displaying eyes, modified bus shelter advertisements, a sculpture of a mother with her child, and an imposing structure. Jackson refers to the exhibition as 'a lot of images and a memorial.' The billboard replicates the 'Eye Syphilis Is Serious' public health initiative, which the AIDS Healthcare Foundation launched in Los Angeles in 2024. Jackson received the original Photoshop file from AHF, removing the text. The billboard spans 44 feet in width and 15 feet in height, positioned diagonally in the gallery. Nearby, a woman and her child, acquired by Jackson as sculptural readymades, stand, with the woman adorned in a handmade outfit.
