BALTIMORE CITY PAPER AWARDED US WITH “BEST PLACE TO BUY ART” FOR THEIR BEST OF BALTIMORE ISSUE, CHECK IT OUT!

http://citypaper.com/bob/artsentertainment/best-place-to-buy-art-1.1205844

C A R T
The average American makes two trips to buy groceries each week, making supermarkets, mini-marts, and corner stores essential and incredibly influential parts of our everyday lives. All items are bought and sold at these stores using money. Money is earned through labor, and labor comes in countless different packages, much like our food. Through our labor we are inspired and we are exploited. We progress and we are repressed. We survive.

Art is created through labor, but unlike some of the more negative forms labor takes, art stimulates our minds, challenges our imaginations, and expands our vision for the world. Art is at the center of humanity’s continuous evolution, but it remains extraordinarily undervalued by mainstream American society, which is almost solely focused on the seemingly endless cycle of labor and consumption. This limited view of life is slowly eliminating our ability to imagine, dream, and think freely.

Through C A R T, Current Space is positing that art is not optional, but essential. It affects all of us internally, whether we are aware of it or not, and it should therefore be considered as fundamental to our daily lives as the products we purchase at grocery stores every week. Therefore, Current Space will be transformed into a fully functional mini-supermarket, complete with aisles, window displays, shopping baskets, and cash registers in an attempt to explore the exchange of artists’ labor for profit in a familiar, everyday setting.

CART opens at Current Space Gallery on July 9th with a reception from 7-10pm.
This show will ALSO be part of a 3 day festival known as Artscape happening in Baltimore from July 15 – 17th! If you miss the opening reception for CART you should definitely check out Artscape. It looks like a ton of fun!

Next month I will be exhibiting a piece in Baltimore, Maryland! To date, this is the furthest my art has travelled!!!

The show is CART and it will be exhibited at Current Space Gallery in Baltimore, Maryland. Here is an exert from the Current Space website about the show!
