 Kaari Upson takes creativity to a whole new different level. Talk about being creative and having an overactive imagination. Taking what began as a research project to find out more about some guy (Larry) that used to live in her new home, she let herself go and turned what started as a search for insight into this man’s character into fantasy and conjecture.
In this exhibit, Upson introduces segments from Larry’s story in a variety of media. Blurring the lines of reality and fantasy, public and private, self and the other, Upson provocatively demonstrates the difficulty of ever truly knowing the essence of someone, no matter how much of their personal information you might possess.

| Hi, my name is Rafael Alejandro Acero Hernandez, and I'm an alcoholic. I don't drink beer. I'm addicted to chocolate. I'm a bit bipolar and every once in a while obsessive/ compulsive. I have a really short attention span. I don't believe in labels, I'm not defined by what I do or by who I do- for that matter. I'm a writer, an actor, a dancer, BUT nothing is better than being a professional a$$hole. Soy un chilango incomprendido, y como tal- valemadrista a morir. | |
