"A Crime Against Humanity" - Sam Smith
Sam Smith takes an unexpected turn and delves into assemblage and conceptual ready-mades as he explores the tragedy of the Uvalde Texas school shooting. Rather than create art intended to decorate living space Smith puts forth a challenging body of work that wrestles with American gun culture and the painful consequences it forces so many to suffer through. It is timely social commentary that fortunately manages to avoid the grotesque. The work is compelling visually but can be challenging to contemplate. Viewer discretion is advised.
"Ghosts of Old Denver Part II - Earl Chuvarsky
Continuing the exploration of historic people and places that have a connection to Colorado Chuvarsky expands on the idea of Denver being a city of booms and busts. From its beginnings as cottonwood logs on a bluff overlooking the confluence of the South Platte river and Cherry Creek to the metropolitan hub it is today.
"There's a lot of correlation between creating art and the boomtowns of the American west. When the mines stopped producing the towns would eventually dry up and people would move on. Just because you have a successful response to a show one year doesn't necessarily mean that will be the next. Hopefully I captured a sense of strangeness a sense of the wild west but with a contemporary twist"
