BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY)

TRUCK EXHIBITION ON VIEW IN OUR DRIVEWAY:

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, AND MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, FROM 12 NOON – 3 PM

For two days only on November 3rd and 4th, outside McLennon Pen Co. Gallery, we will host BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY) by Project for Empty Space—an art exhibition traveling cross-country in a 27-foot box truck. This mobile gallery, parked in our driveway, features works by over 100+ artists aimed at cultivating community from coast to coast. The truck exhibit highlights global artists’ perspectives on Reproductive Justice, Queer Liberation, and Trans Joy.

The exhibition launched its national tour on September 4, 2024, in Times Square and has been stopping in cities across the U.S. in the lead-up to the 2024 elections. The truck, wrapped in a Barbara Kruger text based artwork with her iconic phrase “Your Body is a Battleground,” showcases permanent works by Ana Mendieta, Andrea Bowers, Demian DinéYazhi, and Mickalene Thomas, alongside a rotating selection of pieces by local artists in each city it visits.

The truck exhibit will also appear at a nearby partner location, Future Front Texas, a few blocks down the street from our gallery. It will be on view in their parking lot on November 1st, 2nd, and 5th.”
