Yasser Aggour (USA)

Studio 3B
June to September
sculpture/performance/photography
Yasser Aggours art has emerged from a peculiar chrysalis: economic, social and intellectual history, dandyism, the legacies of performance and conceptual art, and over-exposure to erectile dysfunction commercials. While Yasser has a decidedly unsystematized approach — one may even describe his practice as promiscuous — the images he produces do share an interrogation on the nature of photography.  Yasser’s intention is to create a bewilderingly diverse body of work that is psychologically charged and leavened with sweet perversity. And while a bewildering number of concerns are ventilated, the work is first and foremost an attempt to make photographs that grab and warrant retinal attention.
