The Reece Museum has been hosting the Fl3tcher Exhibit. I finally had the opportunity to go and I found an exhibit full of politically charged statements about guns, rights, and rapes. I was shocked by some of the pieces to the point where my mouth fell open. However, some were gorgeous and done beautifully. I was allowed to take pictures and here are my thoughts and reflections about each piece that stood out to me.
This piece stood out to me because the artist was communicating how society is conditioned to feel safe because of gun ownership. I found this to be an interesting way to describe society's need to be aware of guns.
This was the piece where my mouth fell open in shock. The artist was trying to communicate that rape has a powerful impact. I thought this piece was very provocative but it got the authors point across!
This piece was super elaborate. It had drills screwed into the pictures. The artist discussed how America is getting "Screwed" over by large companies. I cannot say that I disagree, but this piece was very politically charged.
I found this piece to be interesting because it had a sound component. I did not fully grasp the concept of this piece. The recording was of someone talking about accidents with guns and at the end you hear gun fire. I believe the piece was just to call awareness to reasons for gun control other than criminal behavior.
