			May 17, 2018<blockquote>Prina uses this upholstery fabric as an improbable Proustian key to a past continually unfolding in his memory and in real time. The garish fabric is on a vitrine supporting a complete set of Sandburg’s Lincoln biography. Prina uses it as part of the frame around a black and white photograph of Sandburg posing with Marilyn Monroe, which was taken by Arnold Newman. [...]

			That upholstery fabric is integral to a wall sculpture of speakers playing Prina as he sings covers of various songs, some from the American folk tradition that interested Sandburg.</blockquote>

	~~[...]~~ The exhibition ties together a sparse but interconnected set of tables, swathes of upholstery fabric displays (Harbor Lights Supper Club insignia taken from a match book printed on fabric) painted frames, window screens, objects, photographs, paintings, giclee prints and music (self-made album ''Ode to Galesburg'') playing in between a custom designed seating arrangement, speakers on opposite walls both facing cushions and seated viewers. Reminiscent of [[Martin Kippenberger]]'s cover songs but perhaps more deadpan (less schlocky) is Prina's style and wit, maybe even sincere because he actually covered Carol King's "It's Too Late" while in high school, possibly in front of John Cage coincidentally.

	[...] It's difficult to say whether or not the music is supposed to feel sincere or have emotional connection between the artist and his hometown, or lineage for the artifacts and memories it evokes, however the viewer might have the feeling that the songs act as a proxy for the heartbeat of Prina or for the town's spirit itself.
