DEATH OF A CLOWN
February 4 – March 4, 2017
Featured artists: David Avery, Jonathan Barcan, Jason Bayani, Art Hazelwood, Golbanou Moghaddas, Patrick Piazza, Eric Rewitzer, Jenny Robinson and Patricia Rodriquez.
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?
A diverse group of artists in the graphic arts community will explore the concept of abandonment. In works large and small, they will 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 “us” and those we identify as “other”.
