WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY :: Fountain of Pythons
8.29.15
Main Gallery
Where the Grass is Green and the Girls are Pretty is a group exhibition featuring new work from artists of the photography collective Fountain of Pythons, curated by Danny Olda. Where the Grass is Green... playfully draws its name from lyrics of the Guns N’ Roses song, “Paradise City,” in which an idealized but ambiguous home is longed for. Similarly, for this exhibition the artists explore a sense of place, not only as a simple location but as a psychological setting where life is performed and art is created. Through widely varying techniques, aesthetics and sensibilities, the artists examine a range of personal geographies and address a fascinating spectrum of ideas related to identity, place and art making. On the whole, Where the Grass is Green and the Girls are Pretty reflects the disparate and complex relationships we have with our surroundings and our surrounding with us.
Artists included in this exhibition are Wendy Babcox, Jeremy Chandler, Marcus DeSieno, Becky Flanders, Forrest MacDonald, Noelle Mason, Kym O’Donnell, Chris Otten and Selina Roman.
