Anthony Warnick's foredooming exhibition, And So It Goes, presents a constellation of thematically connected works engaged with news distribution, each using abstraction to forefront the structure of the news delivery.

The exhibition takes its title from Linda Ellerbee popularized news sign-off inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s repeated line “So it goes!” from Slaughterhouse-Five, and which was subsequently popularized in the recently resurrected sitcom Murphy Brown (in which Ellerbee guest stared in a meta collision of news and entertainment).

The works, like the title, weaves together how the system of news is both raw entertainment and bleak presentation of our smallness in the vastness of time; through distortion and pattern, the content recedes, revealing the system’s operation.
