Work by Abe Partridge

with work by Pastor Jimmy Morrow and Anthony Feyer

This exhibition grows from a body of work by Abe Partridge, recounting his time in the religious communities of rural Appalachia. It is the culmination of a 2.5 year process that models ways art and other forms of cultural production can expand meaning across religious, cultural and geographic divides. Working with curator elizabet elliott, Partridge has contributed his own work and work from his personal collection, featuring the work of pastor Jimmy Morrow and Anthony Feyer. The goal here is to offer an account of the experiences; the music, rituals, and stories that called to the artist, made with and for a mostly unknown community. With Signs Following celebrates the deep humanity and dignity of places far off the beaten path.

This exhibition was originated by Alabama Contemporary in 2022, curated by elizabet elliott, and is on view at Kentuck at Queen City from March 6 to May 30, 2026.
