Event - Fall Exhibitions Opening

Fall Exhibitions Opening

10.02.22, 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

In the center is a large billboard along a desert road . The left side contains the text “You keep our most brilliant minds in a perpetual loop of articulating and translating the ramifications of your systemic generational plunder” written in capital bold black letters against a magenta background. The right side against a white background is the image of the artist on a motorcycle with flowers cascading from the back seat as she holds the picture of a man standing at a podium. The billboard stands in a desert with wind turbines, mountains and blue sky in the background.
