The Art Gym "Place Names" manuel arturo abreu and Christopher Paul Jordan March 20 - May 20, 2018 Place Names is an installation comprising visual and emotional cues for how a sense of “place” is communicated. The works in the exhibition appropriate stray window frames, graffiti-laden panels, well-worn maps, and loose replicas of the artists' homes and work spaces. The artists each re-constructed detailed personal narratives from the geographical and cultural communities that have been generative to their thinking as artists and poets. Together, the works in the exhibition engage the cultural, economic, and racial influences that compose one's inherited identity. The Art Gym is supported by the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation. Additional support is provided by the Collins Foundation and the Reser Foundation. This exhibition is supported in part by the Clackamas County Cultural Program (managed by the Clackamas County Arts Alliance) and made possible by funding from the Oregon Cultural Trust and Oregon Arts Commission. All artworks manuel arturo abreu and Christopher Paul Jordan Tote bags by Melanie Stevens and Demian DinéYazhi´ Video by Chris Freeman "Place Names" is curated by Ashley Stull Meyers
