In our exciting time of political and social change, a group of Generation-X artists leave their apathy behind in order to make provocative, artistic statements. Gen-X is often called generation with little say. However, this group distinguishes itself by revealing a wide open sense of consciousness. Diverse in culture, perspective and in media, these emerging artists address key issues that permeate popular culture today. Notions of femininity, masculinity, sexuality, commercialism and a wide range of body politics are explored through painting, printmaking and sculpture. All of the work selected is vibrant and expressive. Here Gen- X’ers speak freely from their hearts, minds and sometimes their labidos. Viewers may experience some of the work as sensual, provocative and at times flirtatious. As special feature, this show includes two live painting performances on June fourth. Danny Paulete, a seasoned climber will be ascending the Peach tower of urban Atlanta while painting on canvas. His work explores primal behavior and instinct in response to physically challenging situations. The second performance, entitled, Dancing’, Swingin’ and Getting’ Our Paint On,” Deidra Tyree accompanied by other artists and musicians will be action-painting onto 3 dancers and letting the paint drip at will onto a large canvas below. On May 29, 2009, all ages and persuasions are invited to the opening reception of Split Level of Consciousness.
