Baik Art is pleased to present Hello Letters by NYC based artist Jason Tomme.
Tomme uses the idea of “location” as a base of inquiry through a variety of mediums. Hello Letters builds upon previous exhibitions where he juxtaposes a fictional narrative accompanying the works on display. The narrative is delivered via a faux typewritten letter addressed to “Charles.” Having found himself in an unknown location (“this lonely land”), the author (Charlie) writes to Charles with casual updates and seemingly peripatetic musings that veer into catharsis.
