Blood Census synopsis: It’s now and also 1794. Two 21st century roommates in an American city, but also, Paris during the Reign of Terror. One is the voice for the History Channel; the other is active in the Revolution, making a count of casualties. Georges Danton, architect of the Reign of Terror who eventually broke from Robespierre, is posting on Instagram. That turns out to be a bad idea. So does working for the History Channel during a revolution.

Doors/5:00pm Reading/6:00pm Performance just over an hour.

Both artists work in a variety of media, from installation to sculpture to 2D. Late Season focuses on both of their interests in housing-type structures. What is being housed, is there a context or not. Can we feel the temperature? The similar subject matter elicits investigation from the whole to its parts.

Mark Flowers taught in the University and boarding school setting for over forty years. He has a nurturing spirit that is conveyed in his work. The pieces are irregular in shape, mixed media and narrative. He’s chosen to pare down his collection of completed pieces through a raffle. As they say everything must go. Come be part of the fun and walk away with a good deal!
