Lisa Kereszi: Cheap Thrills

March 22, 2007—May 5, 2007

Yancey Richardson Gallery is pleased to present Cheap Thrills, an exhibition of photographs by Lisa Kereszi. In this, her second exhibition at the gallery, Kereszi addresses our need for fantasy, glamour and escape. Photographing in movie theatres, haunted houses, strip joints and nightclub lounges, she explores venues of cheap popular entertainment which offer an escape into a realm of sensory fantasy and satisfy our desire to be transported, hoodwinked or tantalized. With a detective's coolly observant eye for the telling detail, Kereszi peels back the illusionism of such spaces to reveal the cheap materials, crude construction and pedestrian theatrics that are the simple ingredients of illusion and shows us how very little we require to buy into the fantasy.
