SUMMARY:Urban Wild
DESCRIPTION:Urban Wild\, curated by elizabet elliott\, is an exhibition of 
 work that sits at the intersection of Southern street culture and fine art
  traditions. The historical city streets and dirt roads of the Deep South 
 are a whole other kind of backdrop for these works\, inspiring art that is
  as eclectic as it is playful. These artists draw from graffiti\, tattoo\,
  skate\, and hip-hop culture\, as well as comic book illustration\, pop ar
 t\, folk art\, and even old-fashioned sign painting. This exhibition aims 
 to capture the breadth and diversity of art that makes public place its fo
 rum\, as the Southern Street becomes a stage and canvas all its own.

SUMMARY:FRANCINE TINT
DESCRIPTION:New York-based artist Francine Tint’s (1943-present) colorful
  paintings are influenced by and contribute to this long lineage of abstra
 ct art. Taking inspiration from artists such as Willem de Kooning and Arsh
 ile Gorky\, Tint creates lyrically free abstracted paintings that express 
 intuition through color. Tint credits discussions with Clement Greenberg i
 n her studio as a guiding artistic force. Though abstract expressionism is
  an oft-imitated and commented upon style\, Tint’s paintings remain dist
 inctively her own\, especially considering the field is largely male-domin
 ated.

SUMMARY:OPERATION TUMBLEWEED
DESCRIPTION:Yoland uses multi channel video installation\, performance\, te
 xt\, sculpture\, and photography to chronicle the migration and movement o
 f her and the tumbleweed. Yoland playfully approaches a serious topic by r
 e-interpreting the iconic and deeply “American” nature of tumbleweeds\
 , immigration\, freedom\, and borders. The piece aims to examine personal 
 agency and the fluid nature of identity.

SUMMARY:POSTCARDS FROM QUARANTINE

 to send to people who need a little light in their life right now.

SUMMARY:Putting a pause on opening date speculation
DESCRIPTION:At ACAC\, we are rolling back any commitments to an opening dat

  miss you all and would love to throw open our doors\, there is simply no 
 level of health risk that I find an acceptable trade for admission. Until 
 we are sure that we can open safely while protecting our front of line sta
 ff and patrons\, we won't make a return announcement.

SUMMARY:EAST 7
DESCRIPTION:Although each Land Report artist investigates formal and concep
 tual issues based in the landscape as an individual\, the essence of our c
 ollective lies in the intersection between the things each of us point at 
 – as if we were pointing to locations like road signs. New meanings and 
 contexts emerge when viewers see the conversations that open up between wo
 rks in an exhibition that would not normally occur when pieces are exhibit
 ed in isolation. Furthermore\, the development of the work for each exhibi
 tion is a result of the artists being in direct and indirect dialogue with
  each other\, the spaces they inhabit and the people they interact with th
 ere. Through this active process\, members of the collective make new work
  as if it were a conversation\, even though each artist acts autonomously 
 and there is no hierarchical structure imposed.

SUMMARY:A DIFFERENT KIND OF WEAPON
DESCRIPTION:In our current moment the lines between art and advocacy have s
 tarted to blur. Although artists have always addressed political and human
  rights concerns\, the current era of activism is tipping the scale and gr
 avity of cultural production. Questions of how the art is used to affect p
 ublic opinion and sway others to a cause are being asked worldwide.  Why 
 do artists choose to make work that confront problems in the world?  Why 
 would they decide to advocate?

SUMMARY:DEGREES OF VISIBILITY
DESCRIPTION:“Degrees of Visibility” is Ashley Hunt’s study of the vis
 ual politics of mass incarceration\, a nine-year survey of prison landscap
 es throughout all 50 U.S. states and territories. Asking how camouflage\, 
 disappearance and concealment have allowed mass-scale imprisonment to spre
 ad invisibly all around us\, it shows glimpses of a carceral society along
 side the imagining of prison abolition.

DESCRIPTION:Making projections into an unknown future can be a dangerous bu
 siness. As we deal  with feelings of impending doom\, we create space(s) 
 for self-preservation in an  attempt to meet the moment when it arrives. 
 Until then\, we remain suspended in space  and time. As it relates to the
  works in this exhibition\, the title is employed as an  affirmation rath
 er than a negation. Float\, Fly\, Transcend.

 bility. When we talk about societies ‘most vulnerable’ we are talking 
 about a complex and wildly diverse population out of sight. The power of a

 mpathy.

SUMMARY:HOT WATER: River Raft Quilts
DESCRIPTION:This series of 6-8 new sculptural quilt works by Coulter Fussel
 l act as open-ended narrative vessels for stories of personal escape. The 
 donated fabric leads the way in terms of story\, but certain themes often 
 recur: the physical labor of craft and the economic complexities of fabric
  use and production. Drawing from a childhood growing up in a river-town t
 hat owes its existence to cotton mills\, Coulter Fussell is fascinated wit
 h the economic (and\, in turn\, human) relationship to the natural world.

SUMMARY:Make for High Ground
DESCRIPTION:This multi-media installation by Jamie Robertson examines the s
 ocio-political and spiritual relationship between Blackness\, water\, and 
 memory. Through photography and video\, the Gulf states of Texas\, Mississ
 ippi\, and Alabama’s individual histories are illuminated through their 
 bodies of water. Below the surface\, surrounded by the living presence of 
 Water’s memory\, the camera serves as a device for entry into the spirit
 ual realm. Water is personified\, its bones counted and picked clean from 
 its past. What remains?

SUMMARY:Surface Tension
DESCRIPTION:The works in the exhibition contemplate how we overlay signific
 ance onto bodies\, individuals\, and objects based on their external featu
 res. The viewer is invited reconsider the surface as more than a mere fa
 çade\, but as a dynamic realm where meanings are assigned\, power is exer
 ted\, and our relationship with the world is negotiated.
