Fun House: Art of the Sureal, Fantastic, and Bizarre
Barratt Art Center
Poughkeepsie, NY
July 23- Sept. 3, 2016
Fun House: Art of the Surreal, Fantastic and Bizarre is a premier national exhibition. Fun House embraces visual art from individual works to installations and invites established and emerging artists to submit works that celebrate all that a Fun House offers: the marvelous, disorienting, fantastic, disquieting, and surreal. Barrett’s Fun House is a site for discoveries and secrets; artists are invited to submit surprising (but not to me) works that engage with the real/unreal, the miniature and the gigantic, optics and illusion, and/or the politics of display. Fun House will be installed in Barrett Art Center’s 1830s Greek Revival townhouse in all three floors of galleries and studios, multiple staircases, and in hidden closets and corners. The Barrett townhouse lends itself well to a dramatic, visually compelling presentation of contemporary and cutting-edge work. The show is visited by art appreciators and collectors from the Hudson Valley and beyond, including New York City and the suburbs of Connecticut.
Trumped Up
Gallery Luperca
Nashville, TN
July 9 - August 11, 2016
Gallery Luperca presents a show all about America’s Voldemort: Donald Trump. In light of recent political developments and the blustering businessman’s impending GOP presidential nomination, we can only think to make art about it. Whether locking lips with Putin or dangling his famous micropenis, contemporary images of The Donald serve as powerful commentary on the danger of ego and wealth run amuck and the horrifying discourse on race and religion Trump spews. Opening July 7-10pm

Rotting Piñata
Ground Floor Gallery
Nashville, TN
Aug. 1 - Sept. 3
Desire’ Hough’s solo installation, Rotting Piñata, is a birthday party that was eagerly planned but never occurred for unspoken reasons, leaving the viewer with underlying notions of death. The piñata was never hit yet is falling apart, cake never cut but not at all appetizing, wrinkly balloons at your feet, and gifts left unopened create a subtly haunting scene. The party becomes a memorial site that is left untouched in mourning.

The Artist's Alphabet
Juried Exhibition
Dec. 18, 2014 - Jan. 30, 2015
Ground Floor Gallery (Nashville, TN)
"The Artist’s Alphabet may be gallery’s best exhibit to date. Curated by Jodi Hays, the juried exhibition shows 10 mid-career artists that have established their own rules within their practice. In her curatorial statement, Hays references artist Charline Von Heyl: "I have an alphabet of tricks, an alphabet of colors." Hays, who is an accomplished painter in her own right, proves to be a capable curator with a great ability to choose works that relate to one another subliminally." Jodi Hayes explains, "In this juried exhibition I chose works from artists who seem to be following their own practice, with their own rules or "alphabet".
