Armor
In Armor, CVA presents a contemporary take on battle armor and the protective power imbued into objects as the artists create and manipulate the materials in response to the different threats and attacks they face as individuals or within their communities. These explorations into armor uncover how structures or ideals can protect, but also fail us. CVA鈥檚 Director & Curator Cecily Cullen says of the exhibition, 鈥淎rt can be a solace, a form of protection in itself, but we also find commonalities and creativity, wisdom and innovation that remind us that anything is possible. Sometimes there are solutions as straightforward as joining together as a community. Other times an expression of absurdity is the only response that is fitting to the incomprehensible offenses perpetrated among us humans.鈥�
Artists in the Exhibition
Erika Diamond (Asheville, NC), Merritt Johnson (Sitka, AK), Sammy Seung-min Lee (Denver, CO), Skyler McGee (Jacksonville, IL), Jaime Molina (Denver, CO), Jennifer Pettus (Denver, CO), Frankie Toan & Steven Frost (Denver, CO), Ravi Zupa (Denver, CO)
