An America, is an exhibition curated and first exhibited by Mitchell Algus at his gallery in NYC. Traveling this exhibition to our gallery in LA, is an act of art world solidarity. And yes you are right in thinking that we just did an exhibition, Burn Me!, that was a politically charged show. We will continue. America needs to see this work now, they need to see political artwork that confronts the political catastrophe that is happening in this country. This exhibition is a collection of bold works both historical and recent that address the corrupt fascists that have run this country for decades. Trump is just the most recent, and in many ways the most extreme example of said fascism. Mitchell Algus and The Box choose to show this work and not shy away from the difficult political work being made and much ignored. An America is art exhibition as political statement. A political statement against the capitalist greed that drives much of the Art World, and much of the Western World we live in.
