One Thing to Fight For: Equality ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻 Critic and curator Paul Laster presents "Five Artists, Five Mediums, Five Days" – A Curated Selection for the online exhibition, "One Thing" at Intersect Aspen (@artaspen), online 7/22 - 7/26. For "One Thing to Fight For: Equality," Laster has chosen to present three ambiguous ceramic sculptures by Gavlak artist Alex Anderson that poetically reference the artist’s Asian-African American and gay experiences using aesthetic styles historically related to Western imperial power. "Life’s hard. Let’s Not Talk About It II" and "Poissoned" (both 2019) depict hybrid objects of desire, while "Achilles" (2020) alludes to the barbaric practice of severing the Achilles tendon to punish runaway slaves. "One Thing to Fight For: Equality" is part of "Five Artists, Five Mediums, Five Days" organized by Paul Laster for "One Thing," featuring drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, and film/video, accompanied by a series of online talks. The exhibition goes live today, July 22 through Sunday, July 26, 2020. Read the entire write-up by @plasternyc and see @100alexanderson’s works online by clicking the link in our bio.
