Invitation from Erin Joyce, Guest Curator

I am pleased to invite artists based in New England to apply to participate in the upcoming exhibition Between Beauty and Decay.  This group show will be produced and display at Artspace from December 1, 2017 to February 24, 2018.

Between Beauty and Decay is an examination of humanity in the age of conflict.  Each of the artists selected use visual media to redress what happens when humanity is at odds with the “other” and the natural world. Artworks will include single channel video, installation, sculpture and two dimensional works that confront the viewer with unflinching beauty and terror.

This exhibition is a continuation of my research focused on contemporary art and Indigenous North American politics, as well as the politics of the Middle East and North Africa and their diaspora, and more broadly, my interest in land rights and environmental justice. My recent exhibition, My Country Tis of Thy People, You’re Dying at Radiator Gallery in New York, looked at issues of unsanctioned tribal land sales, Indigenous sovereignty, and history of place, which was prominently featured in the New York Times, as well as NYFA Current and Hyperallergic.
