Art and Democracy

June 27 through August 8, 2004

A collaboration between the Cultural Center and the Visual Artists Guild, was an exhibition of international artists' responses to the state of politics and human rights since the watershed events of 1989, curated by Diana Wong.

Recent work by local, national and international artists examines profound, humorous, upbeat and scathing views of the human political condition in an intense, multi-disciplinary dialogue on the issues. This exciting event will provoke strong reactions.

Painting, photography, sculpture, installation, printmaking, drawing and audio art by Andre Ajibade, Catherine Bauknight, Mariona Barkus, Guillermo Bert, Vincent Calenzo, the Center for the Study of Political Graphics, Kristen Copham, Papo De Asis, Peter Dudar and Sally Marr, Jonye Feldman, Hei Feng, David Friedman, Bobby Furst, Angela Harris, Ariel Heart, Sonali Kolhatkar, Mark Lindquist, Martin Lindsay, Sandra Low, Guykaro Metta, O O, Julia Reeves, George Thomas, Jeremy Sarantitis, Scott Siedman, Charles Sherman, Clay Smith, Shannon Michael Terry, George Thomas, Margarita Weiner, Elliot West, and Diana Wong represent the core of the exhibition. Artists present during the Tiananmen massacre and the destruction of the Berlin Wall were represented in the show.

Public reception opening day featured a host of special events, including performances by Sinan Revel, Leslie Levy and Leonora Panich.
