Tyree Guyton: Spirit 
Spirit is an exhibition showcasing Guyton's Faces In The Hood collection from the iconic Faces of God series. Each work in this collection was originally salvaged from the 1999 demolition, then stored in the War Room House which was set ablaze after the 5th arson attack on his public installation, the Heidelberg Project. From the disrupted canvas resulting from the fire, Guyton painstakingly reimagined, reworked and renewed each piece, infusing new life and new energy.  
 
Friday, October 17, 7-10pm.

Show runs through November 15.

Amie Siegel, Uncommon Odyssey:  For the past decade and a half, Amie Siegel has worked between film, installation, photography, and performance, questioning the tropes of cinematic forms. Amie Siegel's conceptual films and multichannel installations have been described as "uncanny reflections on absence, historical disorientation, and nostalgia." Her work investigates issues concerning cultural memory, identity, and the cinematic portrayal of place.
