This body of work addresses the failure of language to express the whole of human experience. Banners are created where words are excised from the fabric rather than applied, reinforcing the void or absence of true meaning. The language deployed here is that of David-Wynn : Miller, a sovereign citizen who believed his repeated failures in court were due to legalese. In response, he invented his own language and called it Quantum Grammar.

GREG SMITH (b. 1970), in addition to receiving his MFA from Hunter College in 2005, graduated with a PhD in Physics from Harvard University in 2000. The artist is well-qualified and known for staging exhibitions that consider the possibilities and problems presented by our current technological deluge. He builds installations using an amalgam of unlikely materials and processes that trace contemporary limits of language, ownership, and governance. Through his enigmatic work, the artist navigates how systems of communication are constructed, dispersed, and convoluted. Smith was awarded a Guggenheim Grant in 2013 and has had solo exhibitions at the Grinnell College Museum of Art, Grinnell; Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg; the McNay Art Museum, San Antonio; and White Columns, NYC. His work has been featured in exhibitions at The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, Miami, FL; Zolla Lieberman Gallery, Chicago, IL; Marlborough, London, United Kingdom; and the Museum of Modern Art, NYC.
