Synopsis

'60 Americans' is a response to the ill-gotten gains of flipper based collectors, money corrupted and trend obsessed gallerists, shopping mall (puppy mill/factory) inspired art fairs, nepotism and favoritism of the made men and women of fast track MFA programs in America. This exhibition will offer an alternative perspective on what's arguably relevant and important in the current landscape of American contemporary art. Curated by Noah Becker, Alexander Venet & Terrence Sanders.

Sol'Sax is a multi-disciplinary artist whose performance work, sculptures, and videos layer complex connections between African-American and hip-hop culture with Yoruban traditions of West Africa. His artwork is subtle, incorporating clever wordplay or creative symbolism to engage with the public in a discourse about race in America. One of his exhibits, These Hand Me Down Black and Blue Jeans (a play on the word "genes"), employed denim as a symbol of the fusion of American culture and African ancestry. Another installation, SOL'SNIPPED: Strange Fruit, included coke bottles stacked on each other to look like sugar cane (a play on "coke-cane") and addressed the legal repression of minorities by law enforcement and abuse of power.
