Gardar Eide Einarsson - Pathetic Crap - Revolver 2004
Subtitled "Long Haired and Freaky People Need Not Apply ...", Pathetic Crap was made in collaboration with curator Christoph Keller. No text interrupts the ride, index of images is visible on its cover. Published by Gardar Eide Einarsson, Steven Parrino and Revolver.
Over the past decade Gardar Eide Einarsson's exhibition practice has followed a highly consistent thematic trajectory, continuously tracing out what one could call an “iconography of resistance.” The signs and symbols we can read out of Einarsson's works often refer to fundamental conflictual structures between a society of control following September 11, 2001, and the individual's rebellion against and threat to central power. Einarsson also uses historical examples of tragic, abortive attempts to achieve individual freedom, and looks at popular culture's treatment of the myths, signs, and visuality of the outsider ideal as drawn from examples in reality where instances of extreme individualism have resulted in terrorism and crime.
