The exhibition space at Mister Fahrenheit is partially subterranean. A horizontal work in graphite is installed across from the entrance—the only work that appears to sit above the earth. It is accompanied by two ear-shaped rocks positioned to its side, perched atop a piece of white A4 paper. The ceiling is low on the mezzanine level of the gallery, but the vast energetic field of the painting distracts from the parameters that contain it.
You are invited to enter David Lynch's exhibition through its title, Big Bongo Night. Its effect is something like an incantation—sibylline, alliterative, and more potent when repeated aloud. Lynch uses language as deftly as his other tools; he wields it playfully to attract and disarm you.
