Group show at KALEID Gallery 7/14

Exquisite Corpse is based on the Surrealists techniques exploiting the mystique of spontaneity and collaborative creativity through a visual parlor game. The exhibition will take place in the feature gallery of KALEID with a public artists reception on July 14th 7-10 pm and will be on view through July 27th. Each participating artist was given a blank piece of paper on which they created one third of a figure (head or torso or legs, assigned at random). KALEID Gallery staff will collect and arrange all 60 of the individual pieces into a unexpected complete figure. Come out!

I'm happy that I got legs as my project. My piece is based on Chinese Communism, a mix of humor and extremism. I used symbols dealing with China's current collapsing economy, shoddy imports, crimes against humanity, the un-scrupulous one child family planning policy for instance. Women bear the very men who sit in these seats, the archaic scrutiny is rather shocking.
