An online/offline partnership between The Hudson Milliner Art Salon and hudsonartfair.com presents Jewel the Wound, a group show inspired by Myron Polenberg's quote. "Plywood is the canvas of the movement." The show will bring together a diverse group of artists creating original work on plywood with a minimum of 25% of sales donated to local and regional organizations fighting racial, social, and environmental injustice.
As if stripped from boarded-up storefronts in Oakland, Detroit, Minneapolis, or any American city where people care enough to risk their safety in defense of others, the work will speak to the turbulent times where two pandemics - coronavirus and systemic racism - have collided.
“The title Jewel the Wound refers to the unique ability of art and artists to illuminate injustice, societal wrongs, and trauma. Just as we jeweled the wounds of 9-11 by shining lights in the sky, we are jeweling the wounds of police brutality and systemic racism, converting them into beacons for change and transformation.” David McIntyre
The show will feature work by world-class, emerging, and underrepresented artists, including: Tschabalala Self, Huê Thi, Michele Quan, Myron Polenberg, Chris Freeman, Scout Pines aka Brian Bruno, Lucy Welch, Baju Wijono, Ife Cobbins, Charlotta Janssen, Chiarra Hughes, George Spencer, Pauline Decarmo, Ntchota Badila, Louise Smith, Tom McGill, Sienna Reid, Jane Ehrlich, Shannon Greer, David McIntyre, Jessica Willis, Gail Peachin, Andre Juste, Jeremy Bullis, Reggie Madison, and Michael Larry Simpson.
The exhibition is generously supported by the City of Hudson Tourism Board.
