Opening Reception: Friday, March 25th, 7-9pm
With Opening Act, artist Patrick McDonough creates four inter-related projects that "deal in issues of fan behavior, relationships between music and art production, decoration, sites of creative invention, class, accessible custom culture, free time, use value, and interactions between artists and their audiences and supporters. Below the surface this exhibition furthers my investigation into who art is for, what art is and does, and what it can and should be about."
