DESCRIPTION:“Who should room together in the world of contemporary art? 
 Can a Russ Meyer photograph go to sleep in the same gallery as an Yves Kle
 in blue chip masterpiece?” Pop culture provocateur John Waters raises a 
 host of questions in Absentee Landlord\, his devious and sometimes irrever
 ent curatorial intervention in the exhibition Event Horizon. Imagining the
  galleries as rental apartments\, Waters sets up relationships among nearl
 y 80 “roommate” artworks that may be friendly or belligerent\, unruly 
 or reserved\, supportive or indifferent. In exploring the tensions and con
 nections among disparate works in the Walker’s wide-ranging collection\,
  Waters imbues his new role as curator with his trademark blend of subvers
 ion and insight.\n\nAbsentee Landlord features works from the Walker colle
 ction by Mike Kelley\, Carolee Schneeman\, Robert Gober\, Richard Artshwag
 er\, Jack Pierson\, Willem de Kooning\, Cindy Sherman\, Wolfgang Tillmans\
 , Cameron Jamie\, Sturtevant\, and John Currin\, coexisting with several p
 ieces by Waters\, a widely exhibited visual artist himself\, and works by 
 some of his favorite artists such as Gregory Green\, Ralph Eugene Meatyard
 \, and Karlheinz Weinberger. Additional interventions by Waters throughout
  the museum incorporate surprises into activities like parking the car\, c
 hecking in at the visitors’ desk\, or ordering food in the café.
