Counterpublic + Lori Waxman

Join us on Friday, March 13th from 6 to 8pm and Saturday, March 14th from 12 to 6pm for the opening of Counterpublic.

Opening over the course of two days, Counterpublic is an expansive exhibition that commissions artists to create a series of projects that engage a different conception of cultural space, with a particular emphasis on the charged dynamics in St. Louis and, more specifically, in our own neighborhood. The exhibition will open simultaneously at The Luminary and at various locations throughout the Cherokee Street neighborhood featuring work from Alberto Aguilar, Damon Davis, EDELO, Lucky Pierre, Dread Scott, Sean Starowitz, and Work/Play.

 

Counterpublic addresses the complex publics that make up a community, presenting artists and artworks that speak unevenly across space, aiming for a form of public art that folds into the vibrancy of daily life and responds to the pressing issues of our city and of our time.

 

Projects include:

Alberto Aguilar at El Torito & The Luminary

Damon Davis at The Luminary

EDELO at multiple locations

Lucky Pierre at Black Bear Bakery

Dread Scott at multiple locations

Sean Starowitz at Gooolll
Work/Play at Sweet Shears
