Stars & Stripes: Zenith Salutes The Flag!

This show will explore the development of themes and imagery related to the iconic image of the American flag. As you will see, our artists have incorporated this motif into a wide variety of works, created from a range of materials including: paint, metal, mesh, neon, wood, found object, and canvas. The resulting art explores themes that touch upon identity and self-expression; pride and community; personal and communal freedoms; the philosophy and politics of contemporary American life; not to mention consumerism, censorship, and conflict. This exhibit was compiled in conjuncture with the release of the book “Stars & Stripes: The American Flag in Contemporary Art” compiled by E. Ashley Rooney and Stephanie Standish, and published by Schiffer Publishing Company. Ms. Rooney will be present for our opening, and will be available to sign books and answer questions about this fascinating publication.
