Of Giants and Warriors: Diane Grams + Timothy D. Lace
September 6 - October 30, 2024
Of Giants and Warriors delves into tales of memory, metaphor, ancient artistic processes, resilience, joy, and passion. Grams' fresco paintings offer a feminist gaze into modern gender socialization and the masculine history of fresco-making. Lace's large-scale photographs of Mardi Gras Indians in brightly colored suits of feathers and beads tell of the rituals taking place on the backstreets of New Orleans celebrating connections between African and Native American traditions. Both artists push contemporary boundaries to offer explorations into worlds of modern narrative imagery with roots in ancient history. Two themes. Two artists. Two rooms. Shared visions.
