Urban Wild – Members’ Preview
URBAN WILD
URBAN WILD is an exhibition that looks for the diversity of art that is practiced throughout the streets, highways, and dirt roads of the South. Taking engagement with public space as the only cue – object making, visual art, collecting, public sculpture and installation abound.These artists draw from graffiti, tattoo, skate, and hip-hop culture, as well as comic book illustration, pop art, folk art, and even old-fashioned sign painting. The traditional dividing lines between high and low art forms are non-existent. This exhibition aims to capture the breadth and diversity of art that makes public place its forum, as the Southern Street becomes a stage and canvas all its own.
Alabama Contemporary members are invited to preview the exhibition before it opens to the public. Join us Wednesday, May 8th at 6 PM for refreshments, remarks by the curator, and a tour of URBAN WILD.
