“A new exhibition of collages by Aaron Krach that transforms the structure of the book itself into a site of fantasy and desire. Fourteen works created between 2024-2025 are built from vintage book covers, each one remade into a hybrid of archive, scrapbook, and dream.” -CLAMP
“Playing (4PB Red), a dense and colorful spread where wide-eyed kittens share space with nudes, cartoons, rainbows, and fragments of art history. The work is absurdly tender and sharply irreverent, collapsing innocence and eroticism into a single field. The kittens are not decorative background but equal players in Krach’s theater of images, their sweetness heightening the charge of the erotic. “Playing” crystallizes the spirit of the series: collage as both a scrapbook of cultural detritus and a parade of desire, humor, and contradiction.”
