Note: the following is part of Glasstire’s series of short videos, Five-Minute Tours, for which commercial galleries, museums, nonprofits and artist-run spaces across the state of Texas send us video walk-throughs of their current exhibitions. This will continue while the coronavirus situation hinders public access to exhibitions. Let’s get your show in front of an audience.

William Greiner’s solo exhibition Unusual Politics at Fort Worth Community Art Center. Dates: Feb. 29 – April 25, 2020

Via the artist: “Never in my wildest dreams (or nightmares) did I think our country would have chosen such a divisive and controversial president. Over the past few years, I have witnessed and participated in many social media discussions (and rants) on the subject. Ultimately, I found this realm of discourse a frustrating waste of time. A more positive and constructive activity for me was to create work about the many issues I am passionate about. We are living in a Technicolor Twilight Zone, and Unusual Politics is my response.”
