Western Values explores the ideas of the ‘Old West’ (its history, its misconceptions, and its tropes) and aims to re-examine how the West can be visually interpreted now, in terms of both its historical import and its contemporary alignments, through a diverse range of contemporary art practices.
PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: Cara Romero, Dana Claxton, Edie Winograde, Ishi Glinsky, Julie Orser, Kyla Hansen, Manuello Paganelli, Pascual Sisto, River Garza, Rosson Crow
GALLERY TWO: Everything you say can and will be held against you
A new solo exhibition by artist Brian Singer which confronts the current state of American society. Informed by his views growing up half-Japanese with a mother who was interned during WWII, Singer deconstructs and reassembles recognizable and culturally-charged objects to create new contexts that expose, address, and reframe some of the most contentious social issues of our time.
