Alison Peery

Alison Peery's practice is a multifaceted exploration of the contemporary landscape, deeply entrenched in the bustling milieu of New York City. Drawing inspiration from the chaos of internet culture, Peery adeptly navigates through its labyrinthine depths to uncover and reflect upon specific dialectics inherent within this digital realm. Her work serves as a mirror to the complex interplay of ideas, values, and identities that define our post-modern existence.

Within the sprawling expanse of tiktok, discord servers, and naive digital renders, Peery discerns patterns of tension, contradiction, and harmony, which she translates into her art. Through various mediums such as shower curtains, plastic shopping bags, and faux-fur, she dismantles and reassembles fragments of online discourse and personal mythology to reflect the underlying structures that shape our collective consciousness.

Peery's practice is not merely about documenting the cacophony of youthful voices found online; rather, it is a deliberate act of interrogation and engagement. She delves deep into the nuances of contemporary discourse, probing the intersections of politics, technology, identity, and consumerism. By confronting these themes head-on, she invites viewers to critically examine their own relationship with the digital landscape and its impact on broader cultural narratives.

Central to Peery's work is the notion of cultural provocations—those moments of disruption and challenge that force us to confront uncomfortable truths and reassess our preconceptions. In essence, Peery's practice serves as a dynamic conduit between the virtual and the tangible, the individual and the collective, inviting us to navigate the complexities of popular culture and its profound implications for contemporary society. Through her keen observation and creative insight, she illuminates the intricacies of our digital age, offering a glimpse into the ever-evolving landscape of human experience.
