John Gordon's IN/VALID FRAGMENTS (simultaneous truths) will consist of between three and five billboard-like fragments each holding a cultural image. About his work Gordon says, "My intention is for the room (environment) to read both as a kind of collection of architectural shards, contemporary ruins and also as a kind of paradoxical Hall of Fame."
