Art The Gun Show
-
- Jeremiah Jenkins, Icegun
As Russian playwright Anton Chekhov noted, a gun introduced in the first act of a play draws attention and builds expectations like no other device — it must be fired by the third act, or else it leaves viewers dissatisfied. Since the Mongol Empire spread and mixed Chinese and Middle Eastern gunpowder technology with European metalworking technology in the 13th century, the gun has become one of the most important symbols of the human experience. The artists in this Root Division group show approach the literal, metaphorical, political, and sexual implications of the firearm.
