Bleed & Burn, Catalytic Flag Making

Birthed by post-election funk, Bleed & Burn is a catalytic flag-making exhibition/action. This exhibition is a response to the crass, misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and other base instincts that got expressed during the election, and are now exemplified in the president-elect and his cabinet of horrors.

Thirteen artists will create twelve, standard-size flags that will be exhibited in the basement gallery of The Soap Factory, January 14-21. Each flag will in turn be burned independently by each artist at a location of their choosing (post-exhibition). The flags and documentation of each burning will be made into a book published at Beyond Repair, book shop and publishing site located in the Midtown Global market, 920 E Lake St, Minneapolis. A flag-making workshop will take place at Beyond Repair, January 15, 2017.

Participating Artists:
Katy Collier, Katinka Galanos, Sam Gould, Geoffrey Hamerlinck, Guy Henry, Alexa Horochowski, Crystal Quinn, Channy Leaneagh, Janet Lobberecht, Gudrun Lock, Sarah Petersen, Eunice Pitts, Stephen Rife

This exhibition will take place in Soap Factory's new Gallery 4 and will show simultaneously with Disruption - 2017 Volunteer Biennial in galleries 1,2, and 3.
