My first solo show, Business is Business: Emery C. Martin, A Solo Show, will be opening this week at Sea and Space Explorations gallery in Los Angeles, CA. Press release and details below.
“Since computer games are a socializing force both directly and indirectly “Business is Business” begins to deconstruct and forefront the ideology presented by the game, “Command & Conquer: Generals” (2003), in relation to another often seemingly benign socializing mechanism, the language learning course. The result is a language learning course that begins to reveal clashes between these two socializing devices, there similarities, deficiencies, and the lack of access to a broader understanding of the Middle East within the American everyday.”
