ALONE 2GETHER

Beyond Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY, United States

1 December 2019 to 15 Jan 2020

A 2018 study reported that half of all Americans suffer from feelings of loneliness. In Alone 2gether Uzelac blends acrylic, ink, watercolor, and pastel on canvas, paper, and cardboard (both fresh and recycled) to explore the tragic irony of the internet in the isolation epidemic. His continued creative investigation of the world of message board and meme culture, DIY pornography, and dating apps highlights the online intersection of sex, love, and commerce that has caused the tangible world to deteriorate under the perpetually unsatisfied desire for agency and community. Uzelac’s works are menagerie of joys and sorrows felt by the many who feel alone, now given the chance to confront and actually connect over these shared sensations.
