Dread Scott is in the area for the opening of his exhibition:
REVOLUTIONARY ARCHIVE
Opening: Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery, March 6 – April 6, 2012
"This exhibition of recent work, developed to premiere at SJSU, will focus on a series of paintings featuring vintage photographs from the arc of communist revolution, from the 1871 Paris Commune to the Russian Revolution in 1917-1919 and the 1967 Chinese Revolution. Scott reproduces and transforms the photographs, exploring them as an archive of a contested and sometimes forgotten history, simultaneously highlighting the widespread rebellion they depict and obscuring parts of the image."
