Very happy that 'Tea Time' from my 'Rise' series, which was shot at @air_byrdcliffe with @jwklein from 2018 has found a permanent home in a private collection in Springs, NY! ⁠⁠The metal print was featured in East End Collected5 (2019) at the Southampton Art Center @southamptonartscenter curated by Paton Miller. You can find more metal prints and other works on my shop (bio link) if you are interested!⁠⁠
"Don't" t-shirt is a throwback to 2015 when my sister Kelly @takeynea2 and I went to an electric dance music concert for the first time and were surprised to see people wearing fake stereotypical Plains Indian Headdresses every couple of minutes. ⁠We ended up painting a 'No' on Kelly and taking photos with them and afterward telling them about why what they were doing was wrong.⁠⁠Thinking about the design with all of the mascots being changed and the Redskins removing their derogatory name. Link in bio if you want to buy a shirt for yourself or others!⁠⁠
Hello all, I am participating in Curator Eileen Jeng Lynch's 'Art Off-Screen' @wavehill which is an international exhibition of artwork and performances in outward-facing locations, so the work can be viewed from outside by the community. With pause orders during the pandemic, art has moved online and much of it is still behind closed doors. Art Off-Screen provides access to art beyond a screen, inspiring creativity, amplifying voices, encouraging change, and sending messages of hope and healing. ⁠⁠Entire Exhibition Period: July 18 – September 20, 2020. ⁠Within this timeline, there is a roll out in phases (every two weeks) of more artists, so opening dates include: July 18, August 1, August 15, August 29, September 12 ⁠⁠Inquiries will be directed to the artists, who would handle their own sales. At least 20% of proceeds go to the Artist Relief Fund, The Bail Project, Equal Justice Initiative, NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, The Loveland Foundation, or another cause of the artist’s choice. A limited quantity of postcards will be created and sold in assorted packs of 10, which support the various causes.⁠⁠My two pieces are 'Manabozho & The Buzzard' and 'The Legend of O-Na-Wut-A-Qut-O' – both 12 x 12 inches and $350.00 – let me know if you might be interested in these works and supporting the foundations above! (More info in bio)
Dear friends and family, I am part of Guild Hall's 'All for the Hall' led by Robert Longo. From Guild Hall's Website:⁠⁠The renowned American artist Robert Longo has mobilized 60 artists to donate artworks for a special benefit exhibition supporting Guild Hall, the historic multidisciplinary center that has long served the artist community of Long Island’s East End. In response to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, All for the Hall includes painting, sculpture, photography and new site-responsive installations by such artists as Laurie Anderson, Philippe Cheng, Jeremy Dennis, Eric Fischl, Rashid Johnson, Shirin Neshat, Enoc Perez, Dorothea Rockburne, Ugo Rondinone, Clifford Ross, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, Karin Waisman, and Robert Wilson, among many others. The museum exhibition will be on view at Guild Hall from August 8 through December 31, 2020, with a corresponding virtual gallery here. All works are available for purchase at accessible price points starting at $500, with all proceeds benefiting Guild Hall. ⁠⁠You can learn more w/ link in bio and RSVP by phone is recommended.
I am part of the '50 Artists: Art on the Grid' which debuts today and is on view Jun 27, 2020 – Sep 20, 2020. The work I included is a portrait of Vincent from the Shinnecock Portrait Project with the caption 'We Are Still Here.' If anyone lives in Brooklyn or in that area please take pics! ⁠From the website: The exhibit is a "response to this historic moment. Our lives have been completely transformed by the devastation of a global pandemic and the rise of one of the largest social justice movements in modern history. This spring, Public Art Fund invited 50 emerging New York-based artists to reflect on the current situation as a way to help our communities process the challenges we face together. In different ways, COVID-19 and the renewed urgency over systemic racism that led to protests in our streets and a movement for change have reshaped our day-to-day lives including the ways we interact and experience our city. The exhibition gives a highly visible public platform to artists whose regular creative outlets have been stifled, commissioning them to make new, responsive works of art. Art on the Grid enables the people of New York to reflect, to engage with the city in new ways, and to begin conversations with neighbors, friends, and strangers alike." (Link in Bio)⁠⁠Art on the Grid is curated by Public Art Fund Director & Chief Curator Nicholas Baume, Public Art Fund Curator Daniel S. Palmer, and Public Art Fund Assistant Curator Katerina Stathopoulou.⁠⁠
