Synopsis

This is a show where the seniors stand in solidarity with the juniors. The somebodies with the nobodies. The bluechip with the potato chip. Presenting the kind of work, we feel, is, in our overwrought minds, truly awesome; but in yours, not quite, not yet, maybe never. And that's ok. This will be our most fervent, and some would say, foolish, attempt to turn the naysayers into yaysayers. Paintings. Sculptures. This is not a prim and proper, solemn and serious, white walls gallery experience.  This will be messy. Mis-aligned. And poorly lit. There will be a flight of stairs to climb. There may or may not be wall text, or cheap wines. There should be a t shirt to buy. Come see.

How do we begin? Origin myths tell of the beginnings of the universe, the Earth, life and humanity. “Big Bang” reflects on the eternal questions of beginning(s), being and becoming, in art and its creators.
