We will also feature a solo position for Greg Haberny at CONTEXT, "Side Effects May Vary," Booth E59 Dec 3 - 8
“Side Effects May Vary” continues Greg Haberny’s discourse on the side effects of over prescribed drugs by the pharmaceutical industry and their wide reach driven by commercial advertising, medical care manipulation and agribusiness. Drawing upon his childhood experiences with dyslexia and ADHA, “Side Effects May Vary” exemplifies and amplifies Haberny's concerns about
society’s preoccupation and over-zealous practice of prescribing pills as the panacea. His installation is an unapologetic assault on the educational, medical and pharmaceutical industries. It grapples with how these industries inundate us with their advertising and marketing and 'quick-fix' prescriptions to feed their billion dollar empires.
Haberny continues to utilize his no holds barred sensory over-loaded installation schema to convey a very personal, truthful and sometimes painful glimpse into his personal struggles. “Side Effects May Vary” epitomizes the diagnostic impact of his own childhood and conveys a thought provoking dialogue that has a profoundly comedic overture bordering the absurd. Haberny states, "All through my formative years I was either misdiagnosed by doctors and/or dismissed by my teachers. They [the
teachers] had no idea what to do with me... I was often told to just go draw.” Although this apathetic practice worked well for Greg’s artistic journey, there are millions of people who have not been so lucky.
We could write for days on the arguments for and against the aforementioned industries. We are certain that we would not have to mine too deep amongst ourselves to write first hand accounts of friends and family that battle prescription drug issues every day. Therefore, we simply invite you in to be ‘consumed’ by “Side Effects May Vary” and leave with your own diagnosis about the world we live in.
