This exhibition features a selection of photographs and text panels from the acclaimed series by Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid, two early pioneers of the Moscow Conceptualist art movement.

Taking cues from American shopping catalogues, this series uses biting humor to promote a set of fictitious devices guaranteed to provide its user with an enhanced sense of self-importance.

KOMAR & MELAMID: SUPER OBJECTS—SUPER COMFORT FOR SUPER PEOPLE is on view March 2-May 4, 2008.

Curated by Curatorial Fellow John E. Daquino, candidate in the M.A. in Art History program at Purchase College.
