'The Beast In Me—Johnny Cash: Art Influenced by the Struggle of a Man'
"The beast in me is caged by frail and fragile bars."
—Johnny Cash (from a song written for him by Nick Lowe)
Rebel, lover, family man, adulterer, addict, believer, sinner—Johnny Cash is the epitome of struggle. And, while we all suffer the contest between our wickedness and our righteousness, perhaps what makes this man different from most is that he embraced both. Desires to destroy/create, compassion born from being in the muck, a joy that comes through when one knows sorrow so well—that is grace, that is Johnny Cash.
Bad men and bad women—we've all met them, we've all been 'em. This exhibit aims to recognize that sometimes the worst parts of humanity attend to its virtue; that the actual measure of man's vitality is the labor to accept our inherit ill will but to not be bent—too much—by it.The Nave Gallery is seeking artwork, literal or interpretive, which speaks to the true spirit of this American artist. All media are welcome, including video and installation.
Organized by Jenn Harrington.
