Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Salzburg presents a solo exhibition entitled A Town Not This One, by Jack Pierson, opening in the Villa Kast on 30 August 2014 – Pierson's ninth solo show in the gallery since 2000.

In A Town Not This One, the works shown are mainly Word Pieces – large-scale wall sculptures comprising letters of different sizes and materials which, with their clear outlines, are diametrically opposed to the hazy, soft-focus effect of Pierson's photographs. The sculptures are composed of found objects which the artist has collected over many years. They might be termed the American variant of concrete poetry, where language itself is represented in the shape of the work.
