Illegal America

Dates

March 3 - April 21

Exhibition

   This historical show examines artists' work, 1930-1990, from the United States, Europe and Japan who in the process of making their work came into conflict with the law, challenging issues of legality and censorship. The show includes photo-documentation of the work with an artist statement and extensive written documentation of each incident, many of which continued as legal cases.
