Hi friends! Tomorrow at noon on Instagram Live the GVSU Art Gallery will host a conversation with Josh MacPhee, creator and curator of the Celebrate People’s History project.

The Celebrate People’s History project is a series of posters that bring to life successful moments in the history of social justice struggles. MacPhee began the project over twenty years, in 1998 when he created a poster of Malcolm X, and then pasted copies throughout Chicago’s West Side. Over the following years, MacPhee asked artists and designers to join the CPH project by finding events, groups, and people who have moved forward the collective struggle of humanity to create a more equitable and just world and to interpret them with their unique vision and style.

Follow on Insta to listen in and see the Celebrate People’s History exhibition at GVSU!

REMINDER... Josh MacPhee, creator and curator of the Celebrate People's History project, will join us LIVE on instagram TOMORROW Tuesday, October 13th at noon!

Gypsy describes how, for her, “monotypes embody both drawing and painting.

But there’s so much more in these faces beyond the expressive marks that articulate their surfaces. I ask Gypsy to set up my understanding of her current work by talking me through older bodies of work.
