"DEATH OF A CLOWN"
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 4th, 7-9PM Death of a Clown was inspired by the spooky, surreal quality of abandoned amusement parks such as the Six Flags New Orleans. Are these places truly abandoned? If not, who and what remains? Artists Talk and Closing Reception: Saturday, March 4th, 12-3PM Exhibition: February 4 – March 4, 2017 |
Featured print-makers: David Avery, Jonathan Barcan, Art Hazelwood, Golbanou Moghaddas, Patrick Piazza, Patricia Rodriquez, Jenny Robinson, and Eric Rewitzer
Featured spoken word artist: Jason Bayani
In this exhibition, a diverse group of artists in the graphic arts community explore the concept of abandonment. In works large and small, they create abandoned places and populate them. The printmakers’ works will be linked by Jason Bayani’s spoken word, laid out in text form on the gallery walls and performed live at the opening and closing receptions. The exhibition is a metaphorical examination of a world that is increasingly divided into those who are present and those who have been erased; those we identify as “us” and those we identify as “other”. This is the new reality of “haves” and “have nots” – and it is more than economic.
