Description
Just in time for election season, "Party Headquarters: Art in the Age of Political Absurdity" updates the grand tradition of political satire to shine a light on the American psyche in an era of political polarization. Artworks in a range of media take on the pressing questions of the day, among them the social consequences of greed, the corrosive effects of money and religion in politics, the contradictory aspirations embodied by the American Dream, and the destructive outcome of unquestioning faith in American exceptionalism. Artist include Donna Catanzaro, Enrique Chagoya, Michael D'Antuono, Sally Edelstein, Jerry Kearns, Ian Laughlin, Kara Maria, Greta Pratt, Duke Riley, Peter Saul, Federico Solmi, Jade Townsend, Mark Wagner, and Martin Wilner.
