Embodiments, Identities, Landscapes, Materialities, Nature, and Resistance. This exhibition reflects the intense experience of the Covid pandemic and the recent political and social turmoil through the eyes of an intersectional group of exceptional artists. During this period of isolation and uncertainty, many artists turned their eyes to the landscape and to nature; others, to the freeing universe of abstraction; others, to embodiments of resistance, grief, or the beauty of others and the self; others, to celebrate and explore their cultural and personal identities; and, finally, some turned to reimagining the objects of daily life. In The Big Show 2021, diverse universes are brought together as communities to celebrate art and life, no longer alone.” — Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, The Big Show 2021 Juror Read More 4912 Main St, Houston, TX 77002, Lawndale Arts Center, 2021.&nbsp; <img width="6720" height="4480" width_o="6720" height_o="4480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5ef70448dd33607a11b140829df0a9ff6416363fd13b3c3fd17ab049054e6e25/20210618-The-Big-Show-3860.jpg" data-mid="112853370" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5ef70448dd33607a11b140829df0a9ff6416363fd13b3c3fd17ab049054e6e25/20210618-The-Big-Show-3860.jpg" /> <img width="6720" height="4480" width_o="6720" height_o="4480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/95491b0054cda0e08a7c85444f5671722ec0ff3874d5928b1ff3b8184f598ebd/20210618-The-Big-Show-3723.jpg" data-mid="112853367" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/95491b0054cda0e08a7c85444f5671722ec0ff3874d5928b1ff3b8184f598ebd/20210618-The-Big-Show-3723.jpg" /> <img width="6720" height="4480" width_o="6720" height_o="4480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/72976906245f274d22220a8cb7daebfd2fb7c268893f897df493e8a3c71a9854/20210618-The-Big-Show-3715.jpg" data-mid="112853368" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/72976906245f274d22220a8cb7daebfd2fb7c268893f897df493e8a3c71a9854/20210618-The-Big-Show-3715.jpg" /> <img width="1900" height="1069" width_o="1900" height_o="1069" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/06e5ebdbd9489844b631d75eb6a4c3e07d8bd608c3a47ae49fa0ae28564486fd/NBaker_Lawndale_BigShow_210619_1558.jpeg" data-mid="112853396" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/06e5ebdbd9489844b631d75eb6a4c3e07d8bd608c3a47ae49fa0ae28564486fd/NBaker_Lawndale_BigShow_210619_1558.jpeg" /> <img width="1457" height="820" width_o="1457" height_o="820" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b28aeb7351984049e9befbfabf9761825ae37cdb03a98f969df00c05670cf41a/NBaker_Lawndale_BigShow_210619_1618-1457x820.jpeg" data-mid="112853395" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b28aeb7351984049e9befbfabf9761825ae37cdb03a98f969df00c05670cf41a/NBaker_Lawndale_BigShow_210619_1618-1457x820.jpeg" /> https://chairsarepeople.com/016-1 Sun, 13 Jun 2021 00:23:44 +0000 chairsarepeople https://chairsarepeople.com/016-1 AN ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE.
