Black and White Vs. Color

I Recently put this show on at a friend's Christmas party. It was quite rushed but I enjoyed working in an alternative space. Since the theme of the party was 'black and white' I tried to communicate the power that just those two colors can have. In placing works with that simple palette across from much brighter color dependent works the space took on a conversation on color and its' power.

Lit. The First Space I Ever Made

This curatorial project aims to explore the interrelation of the visual and the literary. By viewing the elements of sculpture, painting, mixed media, installation, and literary works combined, the power of text, story, and words grows exponentially. Through viewing books themselves as sculptural objects the actual substance of the literature inside is no longer the matter of main import. The expectation we hold for literature and art are both challenged as these two realms clash in a wide array of pieces. In my call for work I asked for visual pieces that were inspired by or corresponded with fables, children’s stories, biblical texts, news media, comic books, etc. etc. The collection displayed is the result of this call and adequately tears down the wall between what we think of as art, and what we imagine to be literature.
