Curated by Matt Held, “Where’s My Jetpack?” presents a mix of paintings, illustrations, photography, audio, video, written word and installation art inspired by the mythology of the Jetpack and the broken promise that personal flight was always just around the corner. The show approaches the subject both in direct reality and in the form of an alternate timeline where Jetpacks became common-place in the 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. Held says, “The dream of Jetpacks has become this great American white whale and I think the point of this show is to give the audience a chance to think on the notion that dreams of personal flight can be more tangible and real than the visions story books and superheroes have given us—even if it’s all a little far-fetched.” Work by Matt Held, Matt Carr, Lee Margolis, Rob Kimmel, Benton Collins, Mac Montadon and Andrew Hamilton will be on display.
