Brandon Foushée and Marley Trigg Stewart in Conversation
Please join 2024 Baxter St Resident, Brandon Foushée, and artist Marley Trigg Stewart for a conversation on Saturday October 12th at 4:30 PM at Baxter St on the occasion of Foushée’s solo-exhibition, Y’all Don’t Want to Hear Me, You Just Want to Dance. The conversation will focus on Foushée’s use of a diverse mix of media, including photo transfers on plexiglass and images overlaid with mirrored surfaces and the ways that these assemblages serve as both literal and metaphorical reflections on the themes of existence and memory, highlighting moments of visibility and invisibility. Y’all Don’t Want to Hear Me, You Just Want to Dance is on view at 126 Baxter St through October 30, 2024.
