Press Release

Emerging artist and curator at 207 gallery, Mike Saijo’s debut solo-exhibition in NYC entitled Corpus Xeroxysm 3, is part of an ongoing epic project of deconstructing literature currently on view at Tompkins Square Library Art Gallery. Themes in this exhibition include: Psycho-history of the New World, Imaginary Science, and the Body inspired by Jean Baudrillard, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Claude Levi-Strauss, Charles Darwin, and composer Richard Wagner. The works on exhibit were originally intended to be exhibited for a solo exhibition at Columbia University Medical Center on June 2007, but was canceled few days before the opening reception due to the content of the work. The exhibition includes large-scale work consisting of pages from discarded books and an xerox print process which layers images over the text.
