On the first day of the Iraq war (March, 2003) artist and curator Cecelia Kane began painting one cotton glove a day, six days a week, resting only on Sunday while depicting a painted story drawn from the ongoing daily newspaper headlines and accounts of this war.
“In retrospect I can see that it began as a compulsion; an attempt to come to terms with the nature of violence and especially….war.” Curator, Cecelia Kane
After 3 years of persevering alone in the creation of this unique and original collection, other artists from across the U.S. and world began to express a desire to participate in this unique historical documentation. Now, with over 100 artists represented in this extraordinary traveling exhibit one can view over 1500 fascinating and artfully rendered gloves, all reflecting the ongoing news headlines about the war in Iraq.
The cornucopia of media in this (nothing for sale) unique exhibit includes painting, photography, sculpture, video, animation, glass, paper, beadwork, printmaking, mixed media and puppetry arts. Since first exhibiting in Nashville during 2003 over twelve galleries in the U.S have hosted this extraordinary traveling exhibit. For the first time in California this powerful exhibit will be on view for the full month of July.
Two-day Opening: Thursday, July 3, 6pm – 9pm Friday, July 4th 10am - 6pm thru August 1st
