JERSTIN CROSBY ON THE INSIDE, 2011 Multimedia installation Artist statement: "For the Mattress Factory’s Gestures 15 exhibition, Jerstin Crosby presents a site-specific multimedia installation called ON THE INSIDE. Through video, sculpture, and two-dimensional works, Crosby makes reference to a spectrum of source material, like the classic-rock hit Smoke on the Water, Magic 8 Balls, Eminem, Alf, and KFC bucket wearing guitarist, Buckethead. This contextual paradigm draws strength from Crosby’s free associative processes, where darkly humorous combinations become syntagmatic shrines to animal rights and environmental activism." Jerstin Crosby creates interdisciplinary works that combine seemingly unrelated contexts into forms that are both humorous and subversively dark. He has exhibited internationally, and has been reviewed in Artforum, Art Papers, and Time Out London.
