March 9 - May 4, 2019
“Sandow Birk and Elyse Pignolet’s print project American Procession, inspired by Der Furstenzug (The Procession of Princes) in Dresden, Germany, plays off of the concept of Heroism by depicting an imaginary parade of figures from American history. Beginning with the oldest in the back of the line and proceeding forward through time, the personalities are those who made remarkable contributions to their times – for better or for worse. Rather than solely depicting the standard well-known figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, and John F. Kennedy, the majority of figures in this procession are more thought provoking and polemic. The artists hope to offer a way to rethink how we arrived at the current state.”
