Mid-Career Survey of American Artist Ed Templeton at S.M.A.K.
GHENT, BELGIUM – The Cemetery of Reason is
conceived as a mid-career survey of the American artist Ed Templeton.
The
S.M.A.K. has assembled into dazzling clusters of images the photos,
paintings
and sculptures he has done over the last fifteen years. The
exhibition
tells the story of a pro skateboarder, a photographer, a draftsman, a
painter,
etc. A story which, although it focuses on his own life and those of the
people
around him, transcends the autobiographical and exposes social and
societal
phenomena unhesitatingly but without pointing a finger. On view
through
13 June, 2010.
