From the Center for the Arts in Jackson:

Equality States: New Work by June Glasson
EXHIBIT OPENING: Friday, March 13 | 5:30-7 p.m.

The Center Theater Gallery

“Equality States” features a selection of recent paintings, collages, and mixed media sculptures that examine and play with the idea of the American “West.”  I am interested in creating work that looks at or challenges the dominant narratives about the “West,” narratives that often ignore and erase complicated and violent histories (which in Wyoming involves both the women’s suffrage movement, Japanese internment camps, and the near annihilation of a native population, among other things.) At the same time this body of work is also an attempt at creating a portrait of Wyoming, a place that is both exotic and home to me.

June Glasson is an artist and designer that lives in Laramie. She was born in Oyster Bay, N.Y., in 1979 and received her B.A./B.F.A. from Cornell University in 2002. Her paintings have been exhibited at the Nicolaysen Museum in Casper, The National Portrait Gallery in London, Nature Morte Gallery in Berlin, and various New York and stateside galleries. They have also appeared in The Wall Street Journal, New American Paintings, The Paris Review, Guernica Magazine, People Magazine, Domino, Asymptote Magazine, SAND Journal, and Diner Journal. She is also the co-found of the Wyoming Art Party.
