The S.M.A.K. Gallery in Gent, Belgium will be hosting a retrospective of Ed Templeton’s art April 3 to June 13, 2010 titled The Cemetery of Reason.
The Cemetery of Reason is conceived as a mid-career retrospective of the American artist Ed Templeton. The The exhibition tells the story of a pro skateboarder, a photographer, a drawer, a painter, etc. A story which, although it focuses on his own life and those of the people around him, transcends the autobiographical and exposes social and societal phenomena unhesitatingly but without pointing a finger. . . The Cemetery of Reason takes the form of a whirlwind of photos, sculptures, drawings and paintings. In some cases, images are clustered by subject and reveal certain phenomena or events, but not in an imperative manner.
