A new exhibition, Activation, has been opened at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History.
The exhibit focuses on the experiences of marginalized communities in this country and their efforts at social change using art as the medium. It features the solo exhibitions of the artwork of Keith Collins, Carla Jay Harris, Paul Stephen Benjamin, April Bey, and Mark Steven Greenfield. Such new exhibits are often promoted throughout a community with poster printing.
Greenfield’s exhibit chronicles 20 years of his work which examines the roots of race and delves into history to investigate the issues taking place in today’s world. The work Benjamin is an introduction to a conversation about racial identity in America using a video and sound installation of performances ranging from sporting events to music festivals.
Bey was raised in the Bahamas and is now based in Los Angeles. Her work is a social and reflective critique of the cultures of both Bahama and America. Imaginative storytelling is used by Harris to present a new story about social turmoil. Collins specializes in industrial assemblage sculptures, oil paintings, large-scale tapestries, and performance and luxury automotive floor mats to express current-day culture.
The exhibition runs until Sunday, April 17. The hours of the museum are from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm Tuesday through Friday, and until 8:00 pm on Thursday.
