Out of Bounds
On the periphery of the basketball court is a supportive spectator, an injured player, a proud parent, an intense coach. A reflection of ongoing conversations between multi-disciplinary artist and designer Duane Jones (Art Pays Me) and textile/quilt artist Andrea Tsang Jackson (3rd Story Workshop), ‘Out of Bounds’ looks at passion, tenacity, discipline, risk-taking and creativity in both art practice and commitment to sport.
Through their works, Duane and Andrea recognize the dynamic nature of “baller” as an identity, the soft boundaries of a game that has hard rules, and the role of improvisational decision-making inside and outside of the game. These ideas are all heightened through their roles as parents — being on the sidelines while having skin in the game.
Somewhere between graphic design, craft, painting, and sculpture, the diversity of media in this exhibition speaks to the tensions within themselves: raw and rough, delicate and strong, planned and improvised.
Join us for an opening reception and artist talk on January 22, 5-7:30 pm.
