Antonio Darden: 10-13
September 8–October 2, 2022
Opening Reception Thursday, Sept. 8, 7-10pm

Artist Statement: “They killed my brother.

“In February of 2018 I received a call from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation notifying me that my brother had been shot and killed by a Georgia State Patrol Officer. The shooting, labeled a homicide, happened in southwest Atlanta. I had the task of dispensing the news. The first call was to my father. His reaction has been unforgettable with feelings of disbelief, unbridled grief and rage.

“10-13” is a multi-faceted immersive experience established in the imagination of the artist. This body of work examines the identity of grief once cloaked in despair. The exhibit pushes this familiar narrative to its most irreverently volatile outcome. A conclusion that the artist’s father, while alive, had once contemplated. The living deserve a resolve.”
