MAKE/SHIFT: IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Curated by James Claiborne and Brittany Webb
Vox Populi's 1st Ever Juried ePublication
ABOUT THE PUBLICATION
Selected from over 300 applications to Vox Populi’s 2020 Juried Show Open Call, Make/Shift: It Wasn’t Supposed to Be Like This features recent artworks by 51 artists from all over the USA and beyond, offering a plethora of compelling glimpses at creative practice today. Every year for the past 16 years, Vox Populi’s juried exhibition offers audiences and artists alike the opportunity to discover new ideas, shared tendencies, and emerging strategies for exploring pressing aesthetic, social, and political issues.
Featuring writing by guest curators James Claiborne and Brittany Webb, the Make/Shift ePublication is adapted from an initial exhibition open call, which was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the ePublication format allows for greater inclusivity of artworks and artists working in mediums and scales that go far beyond what we could have realized in physical space, and we are so pleased to present work by such an esteemed and eclectic group.
The ePublication will be complimented by forthcoming episodic podcasts featuring additional thoughts and reflections by Claiborne and Webb, as well as a screening of film/video works included in the exhibition and social media profiles of all participating artists.
