Signs of the Times- an Article by Ann Landi



Black Flag #2 (installation view), 2017

It’s reached the point where I can scarcely turn on the news, and even die-hard Republicans of my acquaintance are questioning our leader’s competence and sanity. The downright punitive tenor of the times alarms us all, and artists can be especially sensitive to changes in the zeitgeist. So I asked about a dozen how they were responding to the current political climate, and the answers ranged from expressions of pure rage to taking an inward turn. You can read Part One of “Signs of the Times” here.
