Greg Haberny: “Burn All Crayons”<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, \u201cBurn All Crayons\u201d is the artist\u2019s first-hand account of the over medication of our youth. Drawing upon his childhood experiences with dyslexia and ADHD, \u201cBurn All Crayons\u201d exemplifies and amplifies Haberny’s concerns about society\u2019s preoccupation and over-zealous practice of prescribing pills as the panacea. \u201cBurn All Crayons\u201d is an unapologetic assault on the educational, medical and pharmaceutical industries. It grapples with how these industries inundate us with their advertising and marketing and ‘quick-fix’ prescriptions to feed their billion dollar empires.<\/p>\n

\""BurnHaberny continues to utilize his no holds barred sensory over-loaded installation schema to convey a very personal, truthful and sometimes painful glimpse into his personal struggles. \u201cBurn All Crayons\u201d epitomizes the diagnostic impact of his own childhood and conveys a thought provoking dialogue that has a profoundly comedic overture bordering the absurd. Haberny states, “All through my formative years I was either misdiagnosed by doctors and\/or dismissed by my teachers. They [the teachers] had no idea what to do with me\u2026 I was often told to just go draw.\u201d Although this apathetic practice worked well for Greg\u2019s artistic journey, there are millions of people who have not been so lucky.<\/p>\n

Greg Haberny\u2019s installations have been exhibited at international art fairs in New York, The Hamptons (New York), Basel, Miami, Dallas, and Toronto, as well as in gallery shows in New York, Chicago, London, Berlin, Cologne, Dusseldorf, and Tokyo. He has also exhibited in museums and institutions in New York and North Carolina. His work has been reviewed by publications including\u00a0Artforum, Artnet, Nylon, Juxtapoz, The Miami New Times<\/em>, and Whitehot<\/em>, among others. Greg Haberny lives and works in New\u00a0York City.<\/p>\n
