Pace Prints is pleased to announce an exhibition of four new etchings and additional silkscreens by Jake Longstreth, on view October 4 – November 2, 2024, at 536 West 22nd Street. An opening reception will be held at the gallery on Thursday, October 3, 6–8pm.
Jake Longstreth is known for his wry yet endeared depictions of American landscapes with a focus on the in-between spaces in the state of California. Amid the Southwest bramble, Longstreth anchors the viewer to signs of iconic global brands: the ubiquitous arches of a McDonald’s atop a hill, a FedEx truck nestled in the bushes, and Toys R’ Us and Hooters signage towering above highway hedges; their understated positions in space imbue them with subtle humor. The coexistence of the natural world and built environment sit with sweetness and irony, as Longstreth favors retail chains from an earlier zeitgeist to furnish otherwise timeless natural landscapes.
