Los Angeles, CA — Coming this October, ALLGORITHIM presents Luke Haeger's freshman solo exhibition, Revolutionary Debris (From Icarus To Phoenix).

God. Praying. Luke Haeger is a maverick — an artist working across boundaries to achieve total flight. Formerly rock 'n' rollin', he now soars meditatively through the post-postmodern, hyper-accelerated AI landscape, working to keep humanism and the touch of the true artist's hand alive. Returning home to a gonzo dream-journal approach, Haeger annotates and illustrates representational mark-making tied to the signs, signifiers, and signified of the times.

Haeger studied undergrad at UCLA and nearly completed a BFA from CalArts before dropping out to become a resident artist within Praxis, a society-crafting company building a new city in the Mediterranean Sea. Anchored in NYC, Praxis has become an epicenter of alternative thinking in the West. Well-versed and experienced in the art world, Haeger consistently ventures out to parts unknown, finding new intersections and methods to deliver, visually, audibly, and conceptually, one of the last remaining revolutionary messages: Total Freedom, or as he calls it, "viva the wave."

Of the exhibition, Haeger writes:

"Cleared from the ashes of Icarus fall, finding the bits of revolutionary debris left scattered in the rubble pile of the past. Paintings, drawings, and sculptures once left in negative energy clutches, cleansed and reincarnated to rise again, like phoenix at last."
