Bozhkov / Pratt / Norment

Daniel Bozhkov is a Bulgarian artist whose extreme conceptual acts incorporate performance, painting, photography and research; creating complex meditations on culture, politics, and consumerism. Whether creating an enormous portrait of CNN talk show host Larry King as a work of land art, or becoming a greeter and fresco painter at a WalMart in Maine, Bozhkov's work is always absurd, rigorous, and humane. This exhibition is developed with curator Regine Basha and ArtHouse in Austin, Texas.

Greta Pratt is a New Jersey-based photographer whose “Nineteen Lincolns” installation documents men of various ages portraying the controversial and legendary President. Her book Using History chronicles how Americans try to comprehend and embody the country’s complex history.

“Greta Pratt’s extraordinary photographs give us glimpses of people and places that stimulate us to think about our history, not only the great American West, but the nation itself. Her point of view is delightfully antic and provocative. We want not only to enjoy the moment of our viewing, but also to study and ponder each photograph, challenged to find its larger meaning.” Howard Zinn, author A People’s History of the United States

Camille Norment is an African-American artist living in Malmo, Sweden. Her installations feature manipulated mirrors that prompt conditions of confrontation and public/private awkwardness.
