Pablo Guardiola, from "Maintenance Yard," on view at Romer Young Gallery, San Francisco (9/5 to 10/11, 2014). Through photographic and sculptural metaphors, Guardiola gives new meaning to objects, and weaves new stories. "Maintenance Yard" explores the 'markers of geography through historical figures Francis Drake and George Dewey, plotting story lines from the Bay Area to the Caribbean and back, emblematic of Guardiola’s own personal trajectory' (Hotchkiss). The works are heavily anchored in the idea of History as equation, where History is approached as a multiple choice narrative; inevitably the plot of the story is about its process of creation and the endless outcomes and permutations that can arise. #PabloGuardiola #Shark #Conceptualism #PMxPostMeridiem
