If these two had not found one another they would most likely be painting sale signs in a discount drug store. They are definitely not cool enough to work in a record store. Anderson and Scharf co-opt the co-opting attitudes of a century ago, but alter this practice to their own devicesÑthey do not simply steal from other cultures. After a process of consumption of widely varied experiences and influences that resembles osmosis, they develop a multifarious range of Sirventes-like works. This installation will consist of a roughly built wooden structure set in the gallery spaceÑa club-house / RubikÕs cube / fort / factory / orgone accumulator / refrigerator. Drawings chock full of literary, scientific and historical references will cover the structureÕs interior walls, floor, and ceiling. From there the show will spill out into the rest of the gallery like an overflowing cornucopia.
