SOLUTION
with
SALLY J MORGAN and JESS RICHARDS
The installation/performance work, SOLUTION, will explore memory and collective guilt through the washing and dissolving of miniature war planes in buckets of red liquid. Working in response to the gallery space, this new version is a development of work shown at the New Zealand Art Festival as part of Performance Arcade 2014. Morgan’s works are durational, intense, site-specific, and often done in collaboration with her partner, novelist and performance artist, Jess Richards.
Sally is an Artist in Residence at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her work will be at Sullivan Galleries opening on Friday January 29 with a performance scheduled for Wednesday, February 3, at 4:15pm.
