This is Not Romantic, Curated by Dana Bishop-Root
February 21 – March 23, 2019
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
Our landscapes are both inside and outside of us, we are breathing their particulates in, horizontally fracturing, neglecting, regulating, not believing, erasing, stratifying and homogenizing. Our landscapes are collections; collections of multiple histories and relationships, collections of systems built to maintain oppression and power, collections of resistance and insistence, and collections that create the possibility of the expanded horizon line.
Tyrone Brown, Regis Welsh and Ruthie Stringer found each other through books at the Braddock Carnegie Library. Tyrone, Regis and Ruthie’s geography is shared, but like a library where books push up against each other, so do they.
ABOUT THE CURATOR:
Dana Bishop-Root maintains expansive collaborative practices with Transformazium and General Sisters and is the program Director at Braddock Carnegie Library. Her collaborative work grows alongside local systems of communication, exchange, resource distribution and how we use language together. The process and work of Tranformazium is embedded in the Braddock Carnegie Library and General Sisters can be found in the building on the corner of Kirkpatrick Avenue and Robinson in North Braddock, PA. Both practices take on context based forms as they are shared in museums, classrooms, dinner tables and journals.
