UPCOMING EXHIBITION

The economic imbalance, the energy crisis, health insurance, pollution, and global warming increase exponentially every day, all compounded by the coronavirus pandemic. Many of our issues boil below the surface, making it convenient to turn a blind eye. But complacency has rarely been the stock n’ trade of artists. The rule is generally that sugar-coated art is a dead art.

This mini-retrospective encapsulates and showcases John Fekner’s paintings, mixed media sculpture, and ephemera. Although some of the work is decades old, their relevance resonates today, maybe with even greater urgency. Through a sampling of art objects, photographs, books, and a glimpse into Fekner’s personal archive spanning a fifty-year timeline, grassroots protestors can find a historical context for their most pressing concerns today.

Through this exhibition A CHANGE, we hope to continue a dialogue with the public willing to reflect, reexamine, relearn, and redefine, both past and present issues, for a better future for everyone in our communities.
