Venue: Cain Schulte Contemporary Art (click here for venue details)

This solo exhibition, the artist's third at Cain Schulte, addresses a
variety of issues found within American culture, from gun fascination,
violence and rampant capitalism to current neuroses surrounding gender,
sexuality, and the attainment of beauty through artificial means.
Buckingham's deceptively simple sculptures made of found metal are
stunningly direct in technique yet maintain a semiotic ambiguity that is
cleverly disconcerting and dispassionately humorous. His varied but
incredibly cohesive work often recalls the aesthetic principles of Pop
Art, text-based Conceptual Art and the mischievous theories of the
Situationist International; he melds and perverts the basic tenets of
these movements in an exceptionally complex and daring pastiche.

COST/REGISTRATION:
Free.
