Goodbye to Kansas City
Our supporters at White Flag Projects note the departure of the most-recent exhibit, Truck, which is closing at WFP tomorrow. I needs to get me down to Manchester and Kingshighway. Perhaps you do, as well.
Details as follows:
LAST DAY FOR TRUCK: A KC/STL EXCHANGE EXHIBITION
SATURDAY MAY 19, 12-5 PM
WHITE FLAG PROJECTS
4568 MANCHESTER AVE. (JUST EAST OF KINGSHIGHWAY)
With the goal of opening an improved dialogue between the visual arts communities in Kansas City and St. Louis, White Flag Projects and Kansas City's Urban Culture Project are cooperating to organize TRUCK: A Kansas City/St. Louis Exchange Exhibition, a pair of exhibitions to be mounted in Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri. The artists chosen to represent each city in the other were arrived at through gallery visits, studio visits, and an open call to artists. The artists from St. Louis to be exhibited in Kansas City were selected by new media artist and Urban Culture Project Curatorial Advisory Boardmember Barry Anderson. The artists from Kansas City to be exhibited in St. Louis were selected by White Flag Projects Director Matthew Strauss. The exhibition of Kansas City artists in St. Louis will open April 14 at White Flag Projects, and the exhibition of St. Louis artists in Kansas City will open the following Friday, April 20 at Urban Culture Project's brand new 2500 square foot La Esquina exhibition space.
The artists selected to represent St. Louis are: Brandon Anschultz (painting), Sarah Colby & Kim Humphries (installation/ sculpture) , Cameron Fuller (installation), Jamie Kreher (photographs) , Ron Leax (sculpture), Megan & Murray McMillan (video), Daniel Raedeke (sculpture), Ernest Trova (prints/collage) and Ann Yeager (painting).
The artists selected to represent Kansas City are: Callyann Casteel (sculpture), Archie Scott Gobber (sculpture), Anne Pearce (watercolors) , DeAnna Skedel (sculpture/installa tion), Jesse Small (sculpture), Sean Ward (painting), and James Woodfill (sculpture/installa tion).
