 \ninfo@medianoche.us\n\nInspired by American anarchist and peace activ
 ist Emma Goldman’s speech “Patriotism:  A Menace to Liberty”, m
 edia artist Tricia McLaughlin manifests a multimedia world of ruling a
 nd warring apes.  Part fine art, part kitsch, McLaughlin’s ape seri
 es stands merchandising on its head, offering up the infamous simians 
 as animation, painting and sculpture.  The gallery becomes a war zone
  of ideas emanating from the actual words of the renowned activist spo
 ken in various tongues: English, Spanish, Korean, Arabic, Polish, Hebr
 ew, Wolof, and others.\n \nFor Emma Goldman, \"War is a quarrel betw
 een two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle.  Therefore, t
 hey take boys from one village and another village, stick them into un
 iforms, equip them with guns, and let them loose like wild beasts agai
 nst each other.\"\nFor Tricia McLaughlin Disposable Heroes continues
  her exploration of the human need to impose order and design upon the
  world:  “In some ways my approach to art borrows from Goldman’s 
 anarchic spirit.  The status quo isn’t always the best rule. The so
 cial constructs we live by affect our behavior.  Modifying, or exagge
 rating those constructs and rules, changes the game.  More so when it
  is a game of power.”\n \nARTIST BIO\nTricia McLaughlin is the reci
 pient of a Guggenheim Fellowship for her work in fantasy architecture
