Chicken Little and the Culture of Fear: Scene VII The Road, 2006-2007

Description

The Ronald Feldman Gallery will present a solo show, Chicken Little and the Culture of Fear by Nancy Chunn at The Armory Show. The exhibition is comprised of almost 300 cartoon-like paintings in a salon style installation that updates the fable of the cowardly chicken. Inspired by the panic engendered by 9/11, Chunn portrays a Kafkaesque world in which dangers seem to lurk around every corner. Chunn defines our current cultural landscape in which fears stoked by the seductive power of the broadcast media infantilize the nation.
