Justin Lieberman's 2007 Exhibition at Zach Feuer Gallery Explores Text, Appropriation, and Personal Branding
From January 11 to February 24, 2007, Zach Feuer Gallery in New York City hosted Justin Lieberman's exhibition titled "Agency (Open House)." This showcase comprised paintings, collages, assemblages, and light box pieces that offered a critique of mass media and advertising culture. Lieberman challenges appropriated visuals by incorporating handwritten text, exploring the dynamics between imagery and language. Notable pieces featured were "For Successful Living (diesel)" (2006), "National Peanut Board" (2006), and "Lexapro" (2006), which navigate the boundary between parody and personal revelation. Additionally, the exhibition presented three light box works with digital collages and a backroom piece named "February" (2003). Lieberman's art reflects on advertising's impact while infusing personal quirks and humor.
