Plexus Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition of work by Tony Balko. His Small Doses will be featured in Vitrine, an ongoing screening series of moving image artworks.
Small Doses (2019, 14:24 loop, UHD Video) is an ongoing series of animated fantasy pills. Some, with their psychedelic colors and ideal form, look enticing. Others look sinister: dripping, bulging, pulsating. Referencing sex, food and partying -- among other things -- the pills invite the question: “how much is too much of a good thing?”
Tony Balko is an artist and educator from Smithton, Pennsylvania, USA. He uses a variety of mediums, from moving image to performance to sculpture to whatever feels appropriate. His work illustrates a commitment to labor, and supports the notion that your idea doesn’t have to be serious, so long as you take your idea seriously. (www.tonybalko.com / www.acreresidency.org)
