Art Of This presents
Born Between Piss and Shit
A sculptural installation by New York based
artist Jade Townsend
Oct 6-Nov 4
Conceptually, Townsend often works with
(but is not limited to) symbols inherent to the phenomenon of
comfort and apathy or corporate greed and the marginalized and
commodified idea of rebellion combined with, for example, the
Haymarket Square riots, Robin Hood, or the allegorical tale of
the Wizard of Oz.
Visually, Jade evokes an emotional response
to hyper realistic figures within the context of overtly fake
objects, scenarios, and set style construction, the reaction is
often initially comic. Thus, the humorous situations are used
to mask, but ultimately serve to intensify tragedy and
sociopolitical realities.
Opening Reception October 6, 2007 7-11pm
