Take Me To Your Leader exhibition flyer

João Ferreira Gallery is proud to present a compelling debut solo exhibition by Dan Halter.

“Take Me To Your Leader includes a technically diverse range of works encompassing video, sculpture, weaving, collage and assemblage. The exhibition has its origins in post-conceptualism, literary cut-ups and games of culture and currency, and the histories of colonial occupation and revolution in Africa…”
