FALSE FLAG: a documentation of a year of programming (2016 - 2017) by the gallery, False Flag, in Long Island City, New York.False Flag occupied a shuttered foundry that engaged in legitimate fabrication for many years, but made headlines in 2014 when former foundry owner Brian Ramnarine was convicted in federal court of forgery on an audacious scale.
