Speak Out: Art, Design & Politics
November 1–December 20, 2008
516 ARTS is pleased to announce Speak Out: Art, Design & Politics, opening right before the election on Saturday, November 1, 6-8pm. Guest Curator Abby Goldstein, Associate Professor of Art at Fordham University in New York, has assembled a provocative two-floor exhibition featuring artists from across the country and the world who are not afraid to speak out. In the past, the power of print was enormous; people could be jailed for what they said, performed or put in print, and this is still true today in a few countries. In our present culture we are bombarded by a plethora of messages that jostle for our attention and flood our eyes and ears through print, performance and the media. This exhibition showcases artists and designers who have taken on the challenge of creating socially and politically charged messages that are responses to and meditations on injustices and atrocities around the globe. Artists include Bread & Puppet Theatre, Sue Coe, the Guerrilla Girls, Pentagram, Pushpin Studio, Dread Scott, Joel-Peter Witkin and many more. More Details
