LAST WEEK TO CATCH
SUBVERSIVE NATURE
by Russell Biles
October 19-December 14
"It’s a vision of rapport with nature that’s also a celebration of human virtuosity."
Washington Post, December 8
Russell Biles, a South Carolina ceramic artist who plumbs his own subversive impulses to create works that call for us to think deeply, reach out to those around us and act as communities to better the world around us.
In a striking new piece, Captain America Calling, Biles reimagines RBG as Superwoman battling death as our nation hangs in the balance.
In another new work - Eagle Has Landed (400 Years of Occupation) - Biles casts a hard look at our domination of the natural world and asks us as a society to consider anew both the costs and consequences.
Using two striking installations, Biles’ VOTE and GIVE pieces speak both to the power of individuals and of people coming together. Biles vividly illustrates why acting for the common good is sometimes the greatest gift an individual possesses.
