'Alex Frost' (Art Review, 41, 05/2010)
A parallel take on smartly negotiating the inside and outside of a coercive culture, meanwhile, is offered by Alex Frost (DCA, Dundee, to 23 May, www.dca.org.uk), who - fresh from a residency at the Glenfiddich distillery, where he floated a set of giant noses in the cooling pool - takes on issues of taste and connoisseurship. Along with a new set of noses, the Glasgow-based artist here unveils faux-Morandi still lives featuring arrays of shop-bought products linked by the motif of a heart, a mural which reimagines outsider artists’ monuments (like LA’s Watts Towers) as fashioned from Internet-sourced consumer products, and lumpen clay sculptures of foodstuffs referencing Soylent Green (1973). One guesses Frost doesn’t shop at the Gap.
