(detail)

Postmasters has an excellent show up through July 12 titled AMERIKA: Back to the Future. My favorite discovery of the show was the work of Marcus Kenney -- collages that include found paper such as that from old ledgers, adding machine tape, and canceled checks.

The soundtrack for the show is provided by this Rammstein video, playing in the gallery's entry.

The artist's website doesn't have any content, but I know that Marcia Wood Gallery in Atlanta had a solo exhibition of his work for their booth at the Pulse NYC fair in March.

The other artists in the show are David Herbert, Anthony Goicolea, and Jennifer and Kevin McCoy.
