False Flag

FALSE FLAG’s first gallery space occupied a shuttered foundry that engaged in legitimate fabrication for many years, but made headlines in 2014 when former foundry owner Brian Ramnarine was convicted in federal court of forgery on an audacious scale. ‘FALSE FLAG’ is taken from the forged Jasper Johns Flag sculpture that brought down the enterprise. The publication includes a text outlining Ramnarine’s rise and fall in the art world, how FALSE FLAG acquired the space, and full color photographs of exhibitions and performances by the following artists: Maria Anwander, Brent Birnbaum, Michael Childress, Megan Cotts, Matias Cuevas, Jen Catron & Paul Outlaw, Alessandra Duarte, Alex Ebstein, Benjamin Edmiston, Emilie Gossiaux, Billy Jacobs, Asif Mian, Carol Peligian, Andrew Ross, Lauren Seiden and Cuevas Tilleard.
