| Description: | A hybrid of photography, drawing, etching, sculpture and digital design, Actions Speak examines the frustrated relationships between government, and the news media pertaining to often unmentionable topics of brutality, domestic violence, HIV and AIDS. In Actions Speak, the artist duo THINK AGAIN takes on taboo social topics and raises the questions: How does policy affect individuals? Who is allowed to speak and who lives with the consequences? Nationally renowned artists and THINK AGAIN co-founders, S.A. Bachman and David John Attyah, are known for social issue art, which can be a platform for intellectual dialogue and can inspire individuals to social action. This project features a 67-foot interior wall mural in the museum's Renaissance Court, and a concurrent outdoor projection. Upcoming projections: 2009 - Sept 17, Oct 15, Nov 19, Dec 17 2010 - Jan 21, Feb 18, March 18 |
