Vadis Turner

#Repost @jillianmcmanemin 🙏🌹🖤 My review of Vadis Turner’s exhibition, Encounters at the @hsvmuseumart is live @artpapers 💥 Alongside Turner’s sculptural works I discuss gender, race, myth, materiality, object agency, horror, and the red states of the USA. ❣️ Link in bio. “To consider New York and Los Angeles the sole American cultural centers is cliché. But making a case for Alabama is tricky—it doesn’t have the institutionalized exoticism of Marfa, TX, for example—which is precisely why it’s a good place from which to ask the raw and simple question: Does contemporary art have the power to start dialogue and effect change?” @vadisturner #sculpture #alabama #medea
