Small House Books presents ‘Resistance, Rebellion and Rhetoric,’ a photographic installation created by Jared O’Sullivan.

Unlike the shows of tortured artists that dwell on society’s evils, this exhibition is a refreshing revelry in society’s absurdity.

Here’s the confusing bit from the event explanation: “If youthful rebellion has become a way to target a demographic. If the concept of resistance has been successfully co-opted into marketable iconography – then it becomes it’s own contradiction. Then the value of words and experiences are diminished by hyperbolic advertising and everything is rhetoric.”

The non-confusing bit: This guy has contributed some wicked shots to Vice Magazine and his exhibition is well worth a look. O’Sullivan’s work finds pleasure in the details, and you will too.
