THRILLED💃🏻 We are excited to share this review by @vittoriabenzine for @wdwlls on @vadisturner ’s current solo exhibition 'She Drank Gold' at Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts at the University of Alabama at Birmingham! Congratulations, Vadis. She Drank Gold is on view through Saturday, August 12th.
"Hysteria arises not only from sheer sensation itself but from the anguish of feeling unheard. By reanimating and, in some case, giving voice to these forlorn outcasts, She Drank Gold doesn’t just honor their archetypal import — the exhibition allows them a chance to heal us all by raging, dancing, and laughing, flourishing in America's greatest historical crucible for change."

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?”
