- Abstract
Featured work: John Sims, The Proper Way to Hang Five Major Confederate Flags 2021, at the 701 Center for Contemporary Art, Columbia, SC. "Rituals tessellate throughout my day, creating a rhythm, shaping a musicality that blends the struggle and joys of an analytical creative process." Sims has been making, remaking, unmaking, and deconstructing Confederate iconography since 2000; his work around re-imagined monuments, which included I Time Sculpture NYC i , has now evolved into I Freedom Memorial at Gamble Plantation (2020) i , a reimagining of a former slave plantation in Ellenton, FL. B Sims: b In the late '90s I was inspired to confront the Confederate flag after watching on TV the massive protest to keep the Confederate flag flying on the capitol dome in Columbia, South Carolina, and giant Confederate flags on the state house steps.
