Common China talks about status and sex, taboo and display, advertising and commerce, and most of all fantasy and desire.  Both Lessner and Springer frame this dialogue in terms of voyeurism but approach different aspects of what happens when we view images of desire.  Lessner's sculptures, made out of Aqua-Resin are miniatures close to 6" high referencing collectible figurines from Victorian times, probe the limits of our culture's socially endorsed depictions of desire while Springer's photographs examine the commerce of self-display. Together these masturbatory works explore the fault lines in our culture's enthusiastic relationship to images of desire.
