For over a century, artists have employed the newspaper as a source of inspiration, communication, and even as artistic medium. Los Angeles-based artist Dashiell Manley upholds this tradition. This solo exhibition of Manley’s work calls into question the ways in which we experience current events and the value of print journalism in an age increasingly mediated through digital media.
