Covid-19 has united the people and gifted us with a playbook for revolution. We can drastically slow air pollution, fossil fuel consumption and emission, shut down the global economy, NOT be enslaved by our jobs, do more art, cook, write, read, meditate, spend more time with our children, demand equality and find ourselves. The extinction event of covid-19 is bringing us back to what really matters in life, initiating critical and creative thinking, connecting us together and bringing us back to the Earth.
TACTICAL STREAM is a series of group exhibitions curated by Theresa Byrnes, where artists continue to resist the Trump presidency, develop an activist voice and work together toward making social change. There have been five TS exhibitions with over 50 exhibiting artists including Tom Otterness, Heide Hatry, Alan Kaufman, Antony Zito, Ian Knife, 14 performances including Penny Arcade, Felice Rosser, Bina Sharif, Chris Rael & 3 panels with 13 panelists , “What to make now?”, “Body, country, earth.”, “Off the grid”.
TACTICAL STREAM #1 “dump trump & see what grows” Jan 2017, gave artists a platform to vent and develop a political voice.
TACTICAL STREAM #2 “my body my country my earth” April 2017 was specific to women’s health & claiming rights over our own bodies.
TACTICAL STREAM #3 REFUSE FASCISM July 2018, a reaction to family separations at the boarder with a flat-out refusal of fascism.
TACTICAL STREAM #4 THE SNAKE “power without control” Dec 2018, sensing the impending collapse of the American (capitalist) empire - political power without self control or the control of nature.
TACTICAL STREAM #5 “FREE” July 2019, The cost of freedom to humanity is well concealed, buried in layers of biological and bureaucratic processes. The final fee takes time to reveal itself. Climate Change Is the Symptom. Consumer Culture Is the Disease. Colonialism is the genetic trigger.
TACTICAL STREAM #6 CON VIDA - make america indigenous again! Oct. 2020, we do NOT want life back to how it was before COVID 19 - we are earthlings not cogs in a parasitic, unsustainable global economy.
This will be the final TACTICAL STREAM @ TBG in this location on E9th St. I have had my studio/gallery here for over a decade. I will miss my spot on the block but as I said to Chris Rael, "TBG is where ever I am .
