Michele Jaquis, Director of Interdisciplinary Studies and the Artists Community Teaching Program, shared that she and fellow Otis College alumnx and faculty members have work included in the exhibition, Uncivil War (An Election Special), at the Torrance Art Museum, curated by Max Presnill. Other Otis artists featured include Sandow Birk (’88 BFA Fine Arts), who teaches in the ACT, Creative Action Integrated Learning (CAIL) and LAS programs, and Bruce Yonemoto (’72 MFA Fine Arts). 

Exhibition description:

The events of January 6th, 2021 in Washington, D.C. shocked the nation. The country has felt a divided space with a polarization and demonizing of opposition that has left many citizens in fear that a spark could ignite the fires of civil war. There has been a steady build in journalist articles reflecting upon the possibility of a second U.S. Civil War. Regardless of the realities of this, the fact remains that this concern is a part of the current zeitgeist. What will the current midterm elections bring us? Increased enmity or a rejection of extremism? Will democracy win out or will armed insurrection begin? Or will the status quo continue to stoke the embers of discontent?

Other artists featured include Lisa Anne Auerbach, Diana Sofia Estrada, SC Mero, Jeremy J. Quinn, Dread Scott, Allison Stewart, Gabie Strong, and Keith Walsh. The exhibition can be viewed through December 10, 2022. More information can be found here.
