covers. many of the artists are involved and collaborate with the following
collectives and programs:
a better tomorrow
barnstormers
cannonball press
downtown for democracy
K48
space 1026
violence grows
PART OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS SHOW WILL BE DONATED TO DOWNTOWN FOR
DEMOCRACY AND STUDENTS FOR A FREE TIBET
CURATORIAL STATEMENT
most of the work in BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE has been made during the
last few months of rising tensions of an unjust war, alienation most generations
suffer from our nation's ethical, moral and political polarity, a collective
fear of our world's fate and a general distrust of the electoral process.
although much of the work doesn't necessarily comment on these issues
directly, they do have one thing in common: democracy. printmaking, making multiples,
producing art that can get into the hands of the people with the grace and
enlightenment that the first printing press achieved is a testimony to
possibly the most democratic and sovereign form of art.
