The work of Vincent Kral participates in observation, self-definition and resistance. Vincent enjoys making art that is humorous on the exterior but deals with important issues beneath the surface. He strives to give a total experience to the viewer, using video, audio, and sculptural installations to challenge societal pressures and preconceptions. Vincent is constantly dealing with his own critique of consumerism and the mass media bombardment that confronts Americans everyday. Included in this critique of consumer culture is an ongoing analysis of his own actions, participation, and responses that result from his societal situation.

exhibitor’s suite will be located in the Fair’s Pulp Lounge in Suite 164. His performance
piece, “The Ink Panther” will incorporate monogramed art-handling gloves and clues left
by the notorious “Phantom” to help Vince, performing as Inspector Jacques Clouseau,

were the source for each artwork exhibited in the Pulp Lounge. On Sunday, December
7th Vincent will again appear as the “Inspector" to return the stolen works to their
