Everything That Rises by Casey Ruble

$20.00

An exhibition on memory, rebellion, and the meaning of place, Everything That Rises is a series of small-scale paper collages depicting two types of sites in the artist’s home state of New Jersey: former Underground Railroad safe houses, and places where race riots have broken out. Ruble has traversed the state researching and documenting these sites, most of which today seem historically unremarkable—the kinds of places you drive by without noticing. Picturing hair salons, empty fields, boutique stores, and abandoned buildings, Ruble’s collages have a quiet eeriness that speaks to the ways we remember—and forget—the charged events of our country’s history of race relations.
