Priebe Gallery Exhibition

Border: A Multi-Artist Project
April 9 to May 3, 2008
Artist Reception: Wed, April 16, 7-9 pm
Symposium on immigration and border issues: Tues, April 22, 2-4 pm
A group exhibition including filmmaker Dan Banda, painters Jeff Lipschutz and Fred Stonehouse, and fiber artist Ximena Soza. Examines global immigration through the prism of the US-Mexican dilemma.

"The debate over immigration may be an old story, but the artwork born of its unsettling return, as witnessed here, is new. At the very least, border art, as an evolving subgenre, has expanded its boundary northward and into communities previously unimagined. Crossing borders, while challenging at the checkpoints, is worth the journey. You can try to stop them, but they'll make it across anyhow."
- from With a Wall by Teri Tynes
