Erik Patton
Stool Sample
February 1 - 25, 2018
Amos Eno Gallery presents Stool Sample, an exhibition of recent works by Erik Patton. A reception will be held on Friday, February 9 from 6 - 8 PM at 56 Bogart Street in Brooklyn, NY.
Patton’s 3rd solo project at the gallery, Stool Sample, is a partial-room constructed environment that continues his interest in the body and its relation to materiality. As early as the Old Babylonian hymns, the anus has been recognized as a body portal. Where will yours take you? Put on some booties and have a seat.
