Tania Franco Klein’s latest exhibition, Break in Case of Emergency (Flies, Forks, and Fires) at Rose Gallery, came by way of Klein’s fascination with ‘catharsis,’ a term hearkened by Aristotle, and an arguably vital component of a successful “poetic,” i.e. any human-produced representation of life that is outside the thing itself. In that spirit, these images are fabulously unreal, yet succeed in evoking the underlying emotions, the unnameable feelings brewing inside our contemporary psyche. Think, “relatably absurd.”
