The Front
Americana

Featuring the work of American artists, this group exhibition at The Front responds to issues concerning the influences of the United States of America. Typically referring to cultural artifacts or the westward expansion of the pioneers, Americana seeks to extend the horizon of American popular culture through an exploration of side-show and backwoods phenomena, altered landscapes, and arcane celebration. New Orleans is of particular interest in lieu of these objectives as the Crescent City, both historically and currently, has been an incubator for a diverse population that challenges much of the racial, economic, and religious status quo.
