Negativlandland: The Art and Noise of Negativland

September 9 - October 22, 2005
Please join us for the OPENING RECEPTION on Friday, September 9, 6-9PM
New York City

Gigantic ArtSpace [GAS] is proud to present Negativlandland, a large
exhibition by the "culture jamming" group Negativland.

In Negativlandland, you'll see a life size robot of Abraham Lincoln
doing his best to educate you, you'll peer into wrecked cars, get your
fingers in the dirt, discover the secrets of Howland Island, learn how
to make your own noises on the Booper, view many brand new video works,
hiccup with rabbits, and much, much more. Also on view will be an
unauthorized special edition of the U2 vs. Negativland iPod (version
2G), created by Francis Hwang.

In this noisy exhibition, Negativland suggests a theme park catapulting
us into deconstructed attractions of the gallery as a multi-media
entertainment destination. The exhibition will take place in
conjunction with the group's 25th anniversary and will feature the
collective's recent visual and installation work as well as their
trademark sonic work. Almost all of the members of Negativland will
attend the opening.
