Fri 8/20 @ 5-9PM
SPACES Gallery opens its three new fall shows with an opening reception this Friday. All three focus on marginalized cultures outside the mainstream.
Artist in residence Nastassja Swift from Richmond, Virginia, who works with audio, film, fiber and performance, will reveal her project blue/Black/baby smiles, singin’ to an old river- we hear you coming. Cleveland’s Davon Brantley, whose work has been all over town recently, partners with Detroit artist Asmaa Walton for Art History, a exhibit which re-centers Black artists and subjects in the art history narrative. And The Riptide by New York’s Nazanin Noroozi will be unveiled. The four-minute film is described as “a visual short story based on super 8 movies that Nazanin Noroozi’s father took in post-revolution Iran.”
Brantley and Walton will do an artist talk @ 6-7pm, hosted by the Museum of Creative Human Art.
The reception is free, although a suggested donation of $5 is appreciated. No reservation is necessary but masks are required for all.
