No Gallery is proud to present to dream of smoke, Allen-Golder Carpenter’s debut New York solo exhibition.
These all new works continue to expand narratives around regional identity, popular culture and the contemporary black experience already explored within Carpenter’s burgeoning practice.
Challenging both aesthetic value and history in material and imagery, to dream of smoke encourages viewers to more deeply consider the origins (cultural and practical) of media, fashion and products they consume. Carpenter’s work utilizes regional identity as a means of psychogeographical analysis, questioning the communicability of objects and aesthetics as they move from hyper-specific cultural and social spaces into mainstream and pop culture lexicons.
