– excerpt from the Curator’s statement:

Historically, Kansas City is a turnstile for goods and travelers spanning the Coureur des Bois to SmartPort, with shadows of all sorts still spinning around. In artists’ terms, Kansas City is big enough to offer a diversity of creative approaches, small enough to share critical dialog, and affordable enough to allow for a high level of generativity. Uniquely, a certain quality of grit and fortitude is associated with many cultural producers operating throughout the city. Perhaps that’s growing pains of a Floridian (Richard) paradigm shift, or traits of a long established ‘grassroots’ landscape. Peter von Ziegesar describes the bohemian scene “as a kind of beaten down mulch, from which the younger shoots must gather nourishment.” It all feeds the art.
Black & Blue in no way attempts to totalize an organic and diverse arts community, rather, with an estimated 6,000 artists in the Kansas City region,2 it simply exists as one of many potential exhibitions revealing a diversity of practice, inspirations, and backgrounds, all of which Kansas City has inimitably and historically incubated. Black & Blue employs and illuminates polarities, opposition, multiplicities of meaning, diametricism, and difficult subject matter. Together, the works offer viewers reflexive interpretations and achieves visual resolution by the artists’ use of interior or internal spaces, text, landscape, figuration, and even abstraction or formalism.

Curated by Amanda Verbeck of Pele Prints, this exhibition will focus on several regional artists and their collaboration with Pele Prints. Using multiple print processes as a starting point, the collaborations produce experimental works that include three-dimensional components, collage, handwork, and/or various other elements. Artists will show work unique to this collaborative process as well as work from their own singular practice.
