The Dirty Canteen: Taking Place

Jesse Albrecht Daniel Donovan Amber Hoy Aaron Hughes

Ash Kyrie Yvette Pino Erica Slone Ehren Tool

November 9 to December 14, 2018

Taking Place reflects on the politicization of survival. The Dirty Canteen is a collective of artists who served in the U.S. armed forces who state, “We do not accept the complicity of war advocates as the threshold for patriotism. We seek to comprehend, reflect, and educate ourselves and others about what exactly is 'taking place' in our country, our military, and the world. We are contributing to a necessary dialog that acknowledges the complexities of truth.”
