G. H. Hovagimyan is an absurdist, a strategist, a serial
collaborator, and nothing short of a cultural icon in the world of
contemporary art, particularly as it relates to how artists have
adopted the digital technological tools of our times, adapting them
in his work for critique of art, popular culture, and social
engagement. Situationist Funhouse is a joyride through this
history. The journey Stephen Zacks so meticulously documents and
describes is not only an incredibly comprehensive ride through G.
H.'s life work to date - Hovagimyan adopted G. H. as an acronym in
the 1990s as a kind of gesture of personal rebirth and to ease
others' difficulty with his last name [pronounced ho-va-GIM-yan] -
it also serves as a document that tracks a particular view on the
alternative contemporary art scene of New York from the 1970s to
the present day.
