Closing: Yevgeniy Fiks in ‘Corporations Are People Too”
at Winkleman Gallery, 621 West 27th Street, New York, NY
A group exhibition featuring work by Ugly Duckling artist Yevgeniy Fiks among others
Corporations Are People Too features an installation by Yevgeniy Fiks and offers a broader look at how we have come to recognize corporations’ individual identities. Fiks sent 100 US corporations a copy of Lenin’s book Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism as a gift for their library, asking only that they acknowledge receipt. The 34 letters he received, some accepting the gift, others returning it, provide a series of fascinating and, in turns, hysterical portraits of the corporate personalities.
