John Powers

Concerned with the legacies of the minimalist avant-garde and its attendant ideologies as manifested throughout the popular culture of the past half-century, Powers mines the iconography of science fiction film and art theory for the spatial vocabulary of his pointedly maximalist practice. Divided at times between writing and sculpture, which is often fabricated partially by hand and partially by machine, his work examines the intersection of supply chains and the traditional studio.
