Nancy Drew: Bang A Gong March 8, 2011

Freddy's launches its artspace, The Silver Room, with an exhibition of paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Nancy Drew, entitled 'Bang A Gong.' A group of paintings from both her "Artists Series" and "Porn Series" will be included in this mini-retrospective. Spanning the last ten years of Nancy Drew's production, each year is represented by a single painting. Painted in her signature materials of flock and glitter, imagery culled from 20th Century Ab-Ex masterpieces and contemporary video porn boxes is feminized and beautified beyond easy recognition, into levels of high camp and cultural relevance.
