Only 100 tickets available
Huma House is pleased to present its third major exhibition in a one day pop up event - Icons - which explores the work made by artists inside California prisons, artists who were formerly incarcerated and non incarcerated artists who are concerned about the effects of imprisonment. Highlighting 9 artists: Fabian Debora, Kenneth Webb, Jack Morris, Katya McCulloch, Jason Perry, Gary Harrell, Henry Frank, Samuel Marquez, and Leopoldo Zaragoza.
Icons explores the collective human urge to manifest icons in order to surpass our most difficult moments, how these icons become vessels and reflections of ourselves, and ultimately how we transcend the icons themselves to realize our true power. Included are Aztec icons made during the 30 years an artist spent in solitary confinement, a bust of Jesus made out of state issued soap, icons of "Urban Catholicism"and Native American spirit animals, among other profound images that place the role of the icon for nature and the unseen.
