The Shorthand for Luxury by Vandana Jain opens at Station Independent Projects January 9th, 2013 from 6-9pm.

Vandana Jain works with an alphabet of logos to examine the pervasive influence of corporate culture, consumerism and capitalism in modern life. By using pattern and design she redirects the barrage of brands that surround us, creating objects that allow greater contemplation of these symbols, and the larger structures they are part of.

Artists Bio:
Vandana Jain’s work has been shown widely at such venues as: Momenta Art, NY;  The Queens Museum, Flushing, NY; The Soap Factory, Minneapolis, MN; Grey Noise Gallery, Lahore, Pakistan; and With Space, Beijing, China. Her awards include the Emerging Artist’s Fellowship at Socrates Sculpture Park, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Workspace Residency, and the Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant.

About the Gallery:

Before opening the gallery in the Lower East Side, Station Independent Projects had organized exhibitions in the New York City area for over ten years with numerous New York galleries, art  fairs and non-profits.
