Description of Pictures: A Time for Action: Washington Artists circa 1989
June 13, 2019 to October 5, 2019
This companion exhibition to the Corcoran exhibition 6.13.89 will exhibit paintings, drawings, and prints from the GW Collection by artists who registered their protest of the volatile cancellation of the exhibition of photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe. Also included are selected reminiscences of artists who were in Washington, D.C. at the time experiencing the upheaval as it occurred. Artists include Clark V. Fox, Andrew Hudson, Eric Rudd, Ann Purcell, and William Newman.
While I was viewing the exhibit, the artist Robin Bell came by.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robin Bell (born 1979) is an American multimedia visual artist currently residing and working out of Washington, DC.
Artwork
Although trained as a printmaker, Bell has become better known for his fine arts video work as a projectionist, which over the years has been exhibited/projected at a wide and diverse set of venues, such as The Hollywood Bowl, Artomatic, the Kennedy Center, the Phillips Collection and others.
Bell began gaining national and international attention upon President Trump's election, when he focused his projection work to deliver highly negative political messages in various "unauthorized" venues such as the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Referencing that particular projection in 2017, The Los Angeles Times noted that it "began to go viral on social media almost as it was happening."
According to The Washington City Paper, these political projections "unlocked" the path to his first solo show at former Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and as noted by the Associated Press: "His work has turned into an unexpected business opportunity. Activist groups have paid his crew to travel as far away as Finland to project images on prominent buildings." In 2019, The New York Times art critic Jillian Steinhauer noted that Bell's projections veer "closer to propaganda than art."
