Civilian Art Projects hosts two new shows. “The Kids are Alright” by New Orleans-based artist and social advocate Dan Tague. Using various media, including dollar bills, paintings, and restored furniture, Tague's artwork has been installed to be reminiscent of a classroom. With each work, he “points to the inadequacies in government policy toward education, environmental health, and financial reform,” such as using a Mobile oil sign screen-printed using oil from the Deep Water Horizon oil spill.
Billy Friebele, a DC-based artist, has produced three interrelated video projects entitled “Walking as Drawing,” “Target Loop” and “Commute Loop.” In the videos, he examines “the spatial experience of contemporary culture,” and “re-contextualizes common notions of everyday public spaces and mundane routines.” Friebele's work is pictured above.
