Last Day for Viewing and Discussion

Last Day for Viewing and Discussion: ‘Viva La Revolution’ Exhibition:


The Kettle Gallery, in closing their latest exhibition- ‘Viva La Revolution’, is sponsoring an ‘Open Discussion’ regarding the importance and history that Visual arts/artists have played in instigating and stimulating cultural and political ‘revolution’ through the participation of their work. Greg Metz long time Dallas artist, educator, curator, and public artist known for his political and social commentary will moderate a discussion along with Danny Hurley, documentary photographer of Protest Rallies, in exploring the many questions surrounding the often debatable question “Can Art make a difference in changing the dynamics of social political issues at hand? This is not a lecture but rather a shared discussion of how such creative expressions perform with purpose as change makers in various contexts, from personal expressions, perspectives, collective actions, illustrative propaganda, documentary directives, shock and awe, or perhaps as change influencers. What works and what doesn’t in todays competitive medium environment. What are the motivating forces that urge us to create for change. The artists showing in this exhibition are invited to respond to these premises as well as those other creatives and art observers with their own questions and experiences in this pursuit.

And… Yes! What is ‘La Revolution’ ? And what roles or obligations do creatives play in this ever present pursuit!
