DESCRIPTION:*Exhibition dates: October 28\, 2011 – February 25\, 2012\n
 Opening Reception: October 27\, 2011 6 – 8pm*\n\nThird Streaming is pl
 eased to announce an exhibition by *Jayson Keeling*. _See Jungle! See Ju
 ngle! Go Join Your Gang\, Yeah. City All Over! Go Ape Crazy._\, marks Ke
 eling’s first one-person show at the gallery. The exhibition features 
 a selection of rarely seen photographs shown alongside a new series of p
 aintings and videos.\n\nTaking its cue from a 1981 Bow Wow Wow album\, _
 See Jungle!_ highlights the strong influence of music on the artist’s 
 practice and his fascination with popular and street culture. Drawing fr
 om hip-hop\, punk\, jazz\, the 1980‘s New Wave movement as well as fro
 m film\, and modern and pop art\, the work blends visual imagery and tex
 t - often appropriated from music lyrics and film narratives -  into une
 xpected outcomes. In addition\, Keeling’s bi-cultural upbringing betwe
 en Jamaica and the Bronx\, New York comes into play in subtle ways.\n\nT
 he exhibition title provides a direct example of the cultural-recycling 
 that saturates Keeling’s work. The Bow Wow Wow album cover features a 
 photograph of the band posed as a tableau vivant of Manet’s _Luncheon 
 on the Grass_\, making Keeling’s appropriation of the title a playful 
 commentary on cultural fluidity\, the urban jungle\, and the power of re
 interpretation. \n\nSeveral of the works on display straddle the gritty 
 physicality of punk and hip-hop and the high-gloss aesthetic of fashion 
 photography. The dialogue between these seemingly disparate outlooks cre
 ates a raw energy that Keeling takes advantage of to highlight themes of
  gender\, race and sexuality as well as to provide a critique on commerc
 ialism and socio-political issues. In _Vampire_\, 2004/printed 2011 and 
 _Mathias_\, 2003/printed 2011\, the careful composition mixes with the i
 nterplay of textures to emphasize the strength and sensuality of the hum
 an body\, as well as\, provides a commentary on the dominance of adverti
 sing and branding in contemporary culture.\n\nJayson Keeling was born in
  New York and raised between Jamaica and the Bronx. He currently lives a
 nd works in Brooklyn. His work is also on view at _El Museo's Bienal: Th
 e (S) Files 2011_ through January 8\, 2012.  Previously\, his work has b
 een included in exhibitions at  The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh\, PA)
 \, Queens Museum of Art\, The Bronx Museum\, and The Studio Museum in Ha
 rlem\, among others. Keeling has been awarded residencies from the Lower
  Manhattan Cultural Council as well as the Apex Outbound Residency in Et
 hiopia.\n
