Jonas Lund: "Your Logo Here"

A ping-pong table stands right in the middle of the gallery in “Your Logo Here,” Jonas Lund’s current show at Steve Turner. At the opening, people played against a ball spitting machine while a gallery assistant picked up the stray white balls. Those who weren’t able to attend could watch the “game” live streaming on Facebook (the “game” is always live streaming, even though people are often not playing). A court made up of banners advertising art magazines, art fairs, galleries and beer brands surrounds the table. These businesses and organizations are sponsoring Lund’s show, having made some kind of economic exchange with the artist (not necessarily monetary). Jerseys on one wall are ads too, as are plexiglass panels installed on the opposite wall. Everything is red, white, blue and purple, commercially upbeat and patriotic.
