Wade Guyton, Seth Price, Josh Smith, Kelley Walker at Kunsthalle Zurich

The group exhibition at Kunsthalle Zurich from April 8 to May 28, 2006, featured New York-based artists Wade Guyton (b. 1972), Seth Price (b. 1973), Josh Smith (b. 1976), and Kelley Walker (b. 1963), all exploring reproduction. Kelley Walker's Black Star, Press Star (2006) series repeats a digitized image of a 1963 Alabama racial riot, overlaid with computer-generated chocolate drips, referencing Andy Warhol's Race Riots but using Martin Luther King's self-defense photos. Wade Guyton prints abstract geometric motifs over art-book illustrations. Josh Smith exhibits name-variation paintings alongside his palettes, questioning authenticity. Seth Price's digital icons—a Lascaux cave horse and an Al-Qaida image—are industrially reproduced on plastic sheets, rolled, cut, and crumpled, suggesting cultural artifacts can be endlessly rewritten in the digital age.
