About this Event
Join us for a public reception for Jackson's solo exhibition . Presenting the first mid-career retrospective of the Cambridge-based artist, Across the Universe brings together vibrant prints, paintings, videos, textiles, and sculptures from Jackson's past decade of work that powerfully explore systemic inequities found throughout U.S. history.
Influenced by California muralist traditions, Jackson’s work scrutinizes the mechanics of societal power and recognizes triumphs in civil rights advocacy and the empowerment of communities of color. Featuring artworks inspired by communities and individuals in New York, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Ohio, Colorado, and Athens, Greece, Across the Universe demonstrates Jackson’s ongoing commitment to investigating underrecognized histories and visualizing recurring patterns in American democracy.
Across the Universe is organized Miranda Lash, Ellen Bruss Senior Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and at TUAG with Dina Deitsch as organizing curator. At TUAG, Across the Universe is generously supported by the Wagner Foundation, Girlfriend Fund, and Amy and Steven Horowitz.
