MICHAEL GOLDMAN
COMPLIANT TRAFFIC SIGNS

January 12th to March 31st
Opening reception with the artist: Thursday, January 12th 6pm—9pm

Signs are all around us. They are designed to make us pause and
refocus our attention in order to note a hazard, follow a rule or find
a location. Not following signs can have a variety of consequences.
Our world has become a place where the truth, and what rules apply
to whom, has become fluid. What we once took for granted is now
flipped, chopped up, reorganized, and sent back to us from a new
point of view, often to suit a party’s best interest or specific needs.
These transformed road signs are a representation of that misinformation
process without creating controversy and division. What do they
now say or ask? I encourage people to bring their own interpretation
to them, smile and see actual traffic signs as having scrambled meanings inside.
