The Dangerous Book Four Boys James Franco

Javier Peres is pleased to present The Dangerous Book Four Boys, the first European solo exhibition of James Franco.

 

Franco's works explore a variety of issues stemming from adolescence while acknowledging the contributions of influential artists and filmmakers such as Paul McCarthy and Kenneth Anger. This exhibition brings together short films, drawings, photographs, ephemera, sculptures and installations made over the last 4 years where we see Franco draw upon childhood experiences including notions of identity, masculinity, sexuality and other essential life experiences and culminates in presenting a rejection of normative parenthood and suggesting alternative paradigms for parental relations.

 

This exhibition was previously presented at the Clocktower Gallery, NYC, and we are thankful to curator Alanna Heiss and to Kunst-Werke, Institute for Contemporary Art for their support.

 

The Dangerous Book Four Boys will be on view at Peres Projects (Schlesische Strasse 26, Kreuzberg) through April 22, 2011. Opening hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11am – 6pm and by appointment. 

 

The exhibition and opening is free and open to the public.
