Ben Gocker

Through July 16, 2010

P.P.O.W.

511 West 25th Street, 301

New York, NY

Gocker's first solo exhibition, "There is really no single poem", features a variety of installations pieces, sculptures, drawings, and painterly compositions that work simultaneously together to create one single work. Much of his work plays with fantasy, child's play, and unrealized genius displayed in a linear, almost systematic fashion.
