IDOLWILD is proud to present "From Sea to Shining Sea," a group exhibition offering a critical exploration of North American culture. The exhibition's title derives from the lyrics of the patriotic song "America the Beautiful," composed by Katherine Lee Bates and Samuel Ward 131 years ago. Inspired by Bates' profound experience while sightseeing in Colorado, this song encapsulates a vision of America's natural splendor.
"From Sea to Shining Sea" investigates contemporary American identity through the visual contributions of artists Dave Young Kim, Jesse Wiedel, Beth Davila Waldman, Daisy Velasco, Eric Curtis, Marisa Rodriguez, Nate Zoba and Micke Tong. This exhibition provides a multifaceted commentary on what it means to be American in the present day, reflecting diverse perspectives and experiences within the nation's cultural landscape.
This international art exchange brought to you by Los Angeles’ B-LA-M and will take place in Berlin, Germany at GLUE gallery by artist DAG.
Opening Reception: Friday, June 28 from 5-9PM
