Curated exhibition/interventions within or beside the existing displays of collections of the The Liberace Museum, Debbie Reynolds Casino-Museum , Ron Lee's World of Clowns Museum, the Magic and Movie Hall of Fame, the Cranberry Museum, and the Barbara Streisand Museum.
"With ample humor and a surprising degree of earnestness, Vallance reveals the interpenetration of cultures across borders, emphasizing the heavy influence of mass media and communications on that transformation. The hybridity he explores is mirrored in his interdisciplinary practice that is simultaneously respectful and irreverent as it addresses faith, media, and cultural history."
