Musical musings by Carl and guestsSaturday, April 16, 2005
I am putting together a show for Prince Georges Community College to be held next winter/spring sometime. The basis is my desire to exhibit the "Still With Us" series in the right places - and a college gallery is one such place. The gallery director says I need to curate a group of artists/artwork to go with my work. So I am thinking and thinking and beginning to look. I want other work that discloses usually hidden stuff about oppression. My work is about the history of antisemitism. I want work on racism, maybe homophobia, maybe classism. But it must be STRONG and visceral, ie it really hits you, and is sophisticated good art at the same time.
I have asked one person so far, Tom Block. His work is big strong disturbing paintings of people who have been tortured and imprisoned - and written about by Amnesty International.
I have asked Lenny Campello for suggestions, and he sent me a bunch of websites that I still have to visit.
The WPA/Corcoran has a slide registry I will look through, and so does the Maryland State Arts Council.
My hope is to get some really dynamite work, and (somehow) money for a catalog. Maybe even a travelling exhibit!
