Christian Giroux & Daniel Young, Virocode (Andrea Mancuso & Peter D'Auria), Benjamin Van Dyke
Beyond/In Western New York 2010: Alternating Currents
The works of Christian Giroux and Daniel Young, Ben Van Dyke, and Virocode are an atmospheric grouping of distinct works with shared properties and sensibilities. Each in some fashion play with a sense of space and time, share certain formal properties—obvious and subtle—and are realized as both elegant and emphatic. There is something banal in the origin of all the works, yet they all transform the ordinary with rigorous, iconoclastic gestures.
