Beacon Gallery is pleased to present, with support from JArts, Caron Tabb’s solo show, Humanity Is Not a Spectator Sport.
The racial vitriol towards President Obama, the election of Donald Trump, the racial murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbery and others, and the endemic issues surfaced by the Covid outbreak caused a profound reckoning for many, including Caron Tabb and her artwork. Tabb found herself spending significant time engaging in difficult conversations where she questioned her role, responsibilities, and culpability as a white woman. The people with whom she had these conversations inspired and pushed her to the point of profound awakening and introspection.
Humanity Is Not a Spectator Sport, Tabb’s second exhibition at Beacon Gallery, stems from such introspection and offers a personal portrait as well as a communal call to action. The conceptual mixed media work in this show draws heavily from Tabb’s deep Jewish identity while demonstrating we can encourage change in others through our own resilience and intentions.
The show, running through January 17th, will also feature a lineup of relevant events and selected readings, as well as Tabb’s “What Now; Making Space” initiative which will feature seven rotating artists within her own exhibition.
