In this installation, Jenny Day’s raucous use of materials – blown glass, mirrors, wood, fiber, fur, semi-precious stones, beads, bits and baubles – establishes a sculptural feast of celebratory chaos. Drawing on her deep concern for the planet’s ecological health, Day invites us to see that what we build eventually falls down and what we attempt to discard may return to haunt us.
Since the mid-1980s, Mobile, AL has been home to a growing punk cultural scene. Transitory in nature, as with any punk scene, the scene in Mobile has cycled over the decades through fleeting phases and times of burgeoning richness. Through a partnership with 309 Punk Project (Pensacola, FL), this exhibition aims to collect, archive, and preserve some of that lightning in a bottle.
Our 3 Mobile arts organizations - Mobile Arts Council, Alabama Contemporary, and Mobile Museum of Art - are coming together to present the first of a new quarterly arts networking series. We'll have drinks by donation, conversational games, membership giveaways, and a brief presentation and discussion with our host organizations each quarter.
