Art & Politics: See It Now! Hewitt Gallery January 30 – February 21, 2013

This exhibition takes an international, intergenerational and interdisciplinary look at the way artists comment on, perceive and provoke political action. From the October Revolution through Tiananmen Square to the Arab Spring, the artists in this show have appropriated primary and secondary source material from film, photographs and newspapers in order to create compelling visual images. They have explored a variety of methodologies including painting, collage, printmaking, photography, excision, and digital manipulation. Come see this exhibition and join in the dialogue these prominent artists have initiated.
Artists: Shanti Grumbine, Tatiana Istomina, Anna Elise Johnson, Joyce Kozloff, Dread Scott, Robin Tewes, Barbara Westermann.

A display of agitprop graphic art In the Black and White Gallery East complements the exhibition.
