ARTIST-CITIZEN, WASHINGTON DC
from 6:00鈥8:00pm. The exhibition will remain on view through July 27, 2013.
There are persistent romantic notions that the artist is a tortured soul, standing apart from social conventions and ordinary concerns. Popular media frequently depicts the artist as possessed by reckless freedom and lacking accountability. These generalizations are narrow and misguided. The contemporary artist is just as likely to be a good citizen as anyone else. Often an artist is the kind of person who asks, 鈥渉ow does what I do today contribute to what tomorrow might be?鈥
Artist-Citizen, Washington DC features artists Colby Caldwell, Larry Cook, Max Hirshfeld, James Huckenpahler, Franz Jantzen, free[space]collective, Mingering Mike, Anne Rowland, Julie Wolfe, and Workingman Collective. Artwork in various media includes large-scale photography, intimate portraiture, works on paper, video documentation, crowd-sourced photography and video installations, and mixed-media sculpture.
