Repost from @irausf ā¢ [UPDATE 06/03/2020] On Saturday, June 6, #USFCAM, will launch its first major virtual exhibition, āLife During Wartime: Art in the Age of the Coronavirusā. It humbly engages a select company of international artists to respond to the overwhelming realities of the crisis that has gripped the planet since March 5, the date the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The exhibition takes full advantage of one of the few outlets artists still haveāthe Internetāduring a public health emergency recently exacerbated by the wanton murder of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis. It aims to mobilize sentiment, thought and activity around art and its enduring possibilities: its role as a conceptual catalyst, its ability to trigger ideas, stories, conversations, emotions, feelings and mental states. ā£ PARTICIPATING ARTISTS INCLUDE: Marcos Agudelo, Diana Al-Hadid, Atelier Van Lieshout, Alberto Borea, Sebastiaan Bremer, The Bruce High Quality Foundation, Seth Cameron, Samantha Casolari, Rebecca Chamberlain, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Patricia Cronin, Godfried Donkor, Dysturb, Inka Essenhigh, Maureen Gallace, Zhao Gang, Rico Gatson, Mark Thomas Gibson, Patrick Hamilton, Ellen Harvey, Yishai Jusidman, Deborah Kass, Basil Kincaid, Glenda LeoĢn, Matvey Levenstein, Kalup Linzy, Hew Locke, Cristina Lucas, Narsiso Martinez, Eva and Franco Mattes, Richard Mosse, Angel Otero, Luis Manuel Otero AlcaĢntara, Edison PenĢafiel, Dagoberto RodriĢguez, Anastasia Samoylova, Fernando SaĢnchez Castillo, Guy Richards Smit, Kiki Smith, Bosco Sodi, Tavares Strachan, Superflex, Sarah Sze, Jorge Tacla, Tony Tasset, Newsha Tavakolian, Janaina TschaĢpe, Spencer Tunick, Rodrigo Valenzuela, William Villalongo, Kennedy Yanko, Lisa Yuskavage. ________________________ā£ ā£ ONLINE OPENING + ARTIST CONVERSATION:ā£ On June 6 from 1-3pm EDT featuring an artist/curator talk, a virtual walk-through of the exhibition and a public Q+A (Zoom link forthcoming). ā£ ā£ #irausf #artcanhelp #stayhome https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBWXdyltoX/?igshid=5k4uur9gmsr4
