Craig Drennen
Craig Drennen is Awful
Helper Projects

May 9 – June 14, 2015

Before Arcade Fire’s Reflektor video or Michael Fassbender’s Frank, there was Craig Drennen with prosthetic head and guitar. Drennen has performed versions of his “AWFUL” piece at Socrates Sculpture Park (Awful Outside, 2011), during Atlanta’s FLUX Night performance festival (1-Hour Awful for Apemantus, 2011), and at the openings for his own exhibitions (Awful Inside Saltworks, 2012; Awful Inside Florida Mining, 2014; and Awful Inside Samsøñ, 2014).
Craig Drennen’s solo exhibition “Craig Drennen Is Awful” opens at helper on May 9, 2015. This exhibition will feature the performance Awful Inside helper on opening night, with two simultaneous performers, two drawings, and additional ephemera. Props from the performances will be altered and installed as components of an installation that will continue for the duration of the exhibition. An unlimited t-shirt edition will be available to selected viewers. This exhibition is the latest iteration of Drennen’s ongoing intervention into Timon of Athens, the only play by Shakespeare not performed in his lifetime.
