I will show you fear in a handful of dust: Conversations on The Violet Hour

Matthew Day Jackson + Sara Krajewski on The Violet Hour

A conversation with Henry Associate Curator Sara Krajewski and exhibiting artist Matthew Day Jackson, whose work is featured in The Violet Hour on view at the Henry Art Gallery through October 19, 2008. Matthew Day Jackson, a University of Washington alumni, debuts three new works, including a sculpture consisting of a crashed race car frame lit with low rider effects and an immense wood panel “painting” depicting the constellations of the night sky, made from the coin currencies of many nations. Jackson’s work explores events in American history and envisions a future of uprisings rectifying past injustices. Sara and Matthew discuss the exhibition’s themes, his work in The Violet Hour, sculpture, history, and performance.
