A bit of honey to tide you over.
THIS SATURDAY JLUY 16, GET READY FOR MAUVeING ON UP!
These up and coming artists represent a shift in processing culture and contemporary art. Through absurdity, iconography, and outright comedy the artists of Mauveing On Up approach issues of gender, race, technological/internet culture, the history of art, and life itself in such a way that is at once both disarming and alarming. As Abraham Lincoln used to say before fencing with Stevie Wonder, “Humor is too important of a job to be left to professional humorists.”
Please join us for a night of only the most exquisite taste.

Remember that Night…, curated by Austin Turley
Artist Panel Discussion with Alexander Florence, Austin Turley, David Eastwood, Ross Farrier, and Zachary Sea
Curatorial Statement:
These images are an awareness of our conscious and unconscious desires. We are interested in the possession and consumption of objects that we unknowingly take advantage of and the later feelings of regret and guilt from the loss of our phantasy. But by being aware of this primal self we have the ability to either deny or indulge in our fantasy and abuse of these objects.
