Anthony Lister’s “Magic Trick” at FIFTY24SF Gallery

Last night, FIFTY24SF hosted the opening of Anthony Lister’s Magic Trick in the upper level gallery.  The show was packed all night with people lining up to view Lister’s blend of installation, street and gallery artwork.  Lister, the Australian born/Brooklyn residing acclaimed artist, took a departure from his downtrodden superheroes and abstract monkey portraits to present an insightful interpretation of his life and photographs, many of which were derived from his recent book, Tales of White Trash Prophecy.  The highlight of the show included a “superhero” taped, gagged and bound who was struggling to break free for most of the night and then eventually successfully freed himself in true hero fashion.  If you didn’t get a chance to attend last night’s opening, the show will run at FIFTY24SF until February 26th, hero not included.  Read the full story to see the rest of the photos.
