 Satirical Sculptures

Small, Medium, or Large? 




An oversized slice of American cheese, flattened soda cans encrusted in Swarovski crystal, and a lone Dorito etched with The Eye of Providence put questions of consumption front and center in Sam Keller’s exhibition, Extra Value Meal. On view at VSG Contemporary, the show features the Los Angeles-based artist’s satirical send-ups (previously) that subvert notions of waste and worth. Emptied cans that would be sent to the recycling now hang glimmering in the gallery light, while an enormous piece of cheese wrapped in plastic mocks the present-day reliance on processed food.

If you’re in Chicago, you can stop by to see Extra Value Meal through September 14. Check out Keller’s Instagram for playful critiques.

To see your stamp people is simply a treat, Jacki.
And again I liked not only your great collage but also some of your Monday's smiles.
Yesterday we got some rain. Not really enough but we have to be grateful it wasn't too much as it was in some other places of our country with terrible destructions and damages.

Yes, we want rain, but our landscape is not used to it, so when we have heavy rains, we often have flooding in some areas. People use sandbags!
