Cousins combines an Eastern-inspired visual language with sayings from wisdom masters from a variety of ethnicities, religions, geographic regions and time periods. Fusing words representing the highest aspirations of humankind (taken from Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Lao Tzu, Simone Weil, the Buddha, etc.) with specially created paintings, Cousins transforms public venues into wisdom galleries, available to local citizens everyday. The pieces featured in this exhibit come from two series, representing those on view in bus shelters in Tempe, Arizona, in 2005-2006, as well as outtakes from the series that has been permanently installed along the Kennett Street Art Wall, in Silver Spring, Maryland.
During the Cousin's reception, 88 will be proud to present the Washington D.C. debut of Jazz and Blues singer Kristin Callahan, whose voice has been called "soulful, complex and resonant." She will sing acapella and accompanied pieces beginning around 4:15 pm."
