Tony Cokes: video works sampling pop culture's hidden power.

A survey exhibition of video works spanning 1992 to 2026 by the artist Tony Cokes, presented at the Greene Naftali Gallery. Curated by Amber Esseiva, it gathers past and newly commissioned pieces that explore artistic production, intent, and the formation of personal identity. Since the 1980s, Cokes has sampled and remixed fragments of the media landscape, layering found text over vibrant colors and dissonant soundtracks to surface latent ideologies of popular culture and confront structural racism, power, and visibility. Visitors should note the exhibition features flashing lights, loud repetitive sounds, and strobe effects.
