I’ve co-curated an ongoing exhibition with Sima Familant. Here’s the scoop.

In, A Place Called Motherfuckin’ Lovely, the works and artists in the exhibition are purposefully and subtly disjunctive in order to take on what we deem identifies a forgotten “America,” in both its history and current manifestation – the place where dreams come true, where airplanes come to die, where racial and gender antagonisms still live large and across the nation, where privilege and violence merge in unsuspecting ways, and where walls are being erased and being raised. The artworks leave the viewer with many questions, one of which is: is the vision of “America the Great’ still true, and can we really make “America” great again?

The first iteration includes the following artists and groups: Asco, Gaspar Enríquez, David Hammons, Robert Indiana, Alex Israel, Cameron Jamie, Mike Kelley, Sean Landers, Bruce Nauman, Joyce Pensato, Suicide Girls.
