Since the late 1980s, artist Steven Evans has referenced pop songs, disco music, and nightclub anthems to create radiant works comprised of neon lighting, vinyl, and paint. By juxtaposing multiple song titles, Evans weaves together narratives of both individual and collective memory and history that speak to complex and intimate relationships between sexual and/or gender identity, AIDS, loss, love, joy and celebration. Evans' new exhibition, "Mad World," continues his research, with a specific focus on the ways that song titles and themes from the past can inform the present, and vice versa.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be in display until April 24.
