How do artists respond to their cultural condition? Throughout history artists have rebelled against or embraced the status quo: Think the Dadaists in Europe who rebelled against oncoming fascism between the wars, the Soviet Social Realists who idealized the nascent revolution or the Feminist Art Movement making women's liberation three-dimensional in the 70s, and artists reacting visually and performatively to the AIDS crisis in the 80s and 90s. What images are artists making today in response to environmental concerns, the refugee crisis, politics taking a sharp turn to the right, the ongoing struggles of women and people of color for equality, and countless other issues?
Award is 3-person exhibition based on this theme, to be held March, 2019.
