  • untitled(Valor)

    Omar Lopez-Chahoud invited me to participate in the exhibition, Red Badge of Courage Revisited in Newark, New Jersey.  The show opens tonight at the Newark Arts Council.

    I made this drawing, that features the text “please excuse this act of violence. it’s valor.”  I have been thinking about the role of violence as part of the narratives of change, growth and progress.

    Information for the show is below.

    This exhibition’s title comes from a short story with the same name by Edward P. Jones, author of The Known World. In the story, the relationship between a father and daughter, living in 1960’s Washington D.C., changes as a nearby railroad company buys up property and the neighborhood around them disappears. The story’s themes and images appear in the work: family, loss, displacement, community vigilance, changing landscapes. The show includes photography, drawing, and painting by Gary L. Moore, Kathleen Hudspeth, Ryan Holloway, Adler Guerrier, David Rohn, Vanessa Tomchik, Karla Turcios, Bayunga Kialeuka, and others. Curated by Library Curator Denise Delgado.

    HEAL: A Place to Call Home in collaboration with Rhythmic Rapture

The Girl Who Raised Pigeons is part of this program series.

  • Shelf Life, this Saturday July 12th

    Kathleen Hudspeth and I are collaborating on a suite of works on paper, using various techniques (lithography, xerox transfer, screenprinting, monoprinting and drawing).  We are merging our individual vocabularies in these works and having fun doing it.

    So the show opens Saturday, July 12th. The space was used by Placemaker Gallery.  The address is 3852 North Miami Avenue.  Here is the press release.

    Twenty Twenty is pleased to invite you to the opening reception for the group exhibition:

    Shelf Life affirms the importance of an expiration date. In some cases the work is ephemeral discussing the relevance of longevity to the importance of creation.  In other cases it is the concept behind the work that talks about a lifespan of some kind.  Art attempts to defy its end whereas an art exhibition is created with the understanding that it will only last for a short period of time.  This exhibition has a shelf life whereas the art in it addresses the idea while still attempting to defy it.
    Exhition runs through August 10th 2008
