Rodney Ewing, "Xibalba," 2007.
Dry pigment and permanent marker on paper, 59 x 42 in.
Frey Norris Gallery presents Rodney Ewing’s first exhibition with the gallery, Public Safety, comprised of three thematic series that will display throughout our space: Disarm, Countermeasures and Meditations. Public Safety examines devices and methods ostensibly designed to protect citizens. Ewing re-structures them as tools that might provide an alternative kind of security, tools that subvert the original intentions of the represented objects’ creators. The redesigning of these instruments and re-application of these techniques will appear as cable-hung and wall mounted images, light boxes and installations.
Additional event: On Saturday, June 14th at 4:00 in the afternoon, Ewing will offer a slide presentation and gallery talk that will examine popular media discourse on issues around public safety (and the anxieties that fuel them and attempts to mitigate them) and how these intersect with his artwork and studio practice. This event is free and open to the general public.
