Direct Drive is Walker’s first solo American museum exhibition and the largest comprehensive examination of the artist’s work to date, presenting examples from his major bodies of work, including Black Star Press, schema, Recycling, Disasters, Bricks, and Volkswagen Bug, alongside several new site-specific installations. In an era of digital reproduction, the work draws attention to popular culture’s perpetual consumption and reuse of images. Walker brings to the fore a sustained inquiry into ways in which consumer culture exploits history, authenticity, and authorship. He manipulates imagery, encouraging slippage—even in reproductions of his own artworks.
