a Red Fare
a group of works orchestrated for display at the Walter’s Art Museum for the Janet+Walter Sondheim Art Prize Finalists’ Exhibition:
often wielding formal aesthetic precedence, in tandem with etymologies and the historical perversion of language to table popular, ill-classified presumptions. The United States is largely founded upon antagonistic propaganda for limited, and exclusive self inter-ests. The global East at large has long been subject to opposition part this dynamic. This nation’s insufficient intent to govern remains convicted to evade the prospect of a social feature. Socially centric governance, i.e Socialism has largely been abbreviated in heavy handed communist regimes. The humor of comforting excerpts by painting and sculpture invite a second read of prescribed narratives, which often complicate and enlighten a greater exchange toward the consideration of collective potential. Here at the Walter’s “a Red Fare,” is a gathered suite of works focused in communication, camaraderie, and etiquettes of cooperation.
