David Wesley White: Performance Politics Public Reception & Artist Talk
Join us for the public reception of Performance Politics on the evening of October 9, featuring the work of David Wesley White.
The meticulously crafted sculptures, videos, and performances of David Wesley White present a surreal story of politics in the United States. American Presidents are an elusive cast of characters, subject to both scrutiny and worship. In an experimental and exaggerated approach to presidential mythology and imagery, White questions whether the intention of public service will always fall victim to a cult of personality and thirst for power. The installation warns of a dystopian political future ruled by money, AI, and nostalgic masculinity.
White will give an artist talk early in the evening to discuss the body of work. The reception is free, open to the public, and will take place in the Davis Art Gallery (third floor of the Printers Building, 44 Portland Street). A cash bar will be available.
