Cameron Gray's Cryptic Coding

There is no better way to describe Cameron Gray's latest show at the Mike Waiss Gallery; broken information, unison momentum, obscure boost, indeterminate message and a cryptic code, simultaneously coming together into a unique and confusing experience.

Gray's works allow us to be everywhere at the same time and to have a multiple conversation with everybody and everything.

He makes sure that his visual explosion enters your brain and stays there for good while offering the possibility of a new universe and a whole different understanding of communication.


Artist Cameron Gray might have been born in Geneva in 1980 or might have been born in America in 1974, or might have not been born at all.

He might, in fact, come from the future to show us how we should understand our context and how we should be handling the unnecessary, obsolete and obscene information that surrounds our daily life.

His proposition is the game, the changing of the rules and the new perception: to be omniscience in a flat world and to play, as if we where little gods of a little, tiny micro-cosmos.

U.V. lights, fluorescent colors, enormous 3D collages, kaleidoscopic images, Internet trash and pissing baroque sculptures are some of the elements you could easily find in one of Cameron Gray's installation shows.

If you are happen to be in New York at the moment, you should leave everything aside and go right now to Mike Weiss Gallery to be part of this most unique dark party. Be warned.
