About the Exhibition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shut up<\/em>, an exhibition by artist Kathy Ross, explores function and form while confronting society’s acceptance of noise pollution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her works are filled to the brim. With whimsical style, she repurposes detritus into dynamic sculptures that ask the viewer to consider the overwhelming clamor in which we all live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Nobody seems to know this but \u2014 the soundscape is a commons. Like air. like water. You can\u2019t just dump mercury into the river. So, can\u2019t we have some agreements about noise pollution too? Once in a while couldn\u2019t we just have a day free from helicopters, leaf blowers, trucks, dirt bikes, lawnmowers, planes and target practice. When did we sign off on all this? I\u2019m going to write SHUT UP on my roof in huge letters.” – Kathy Ross<\/p>\n\n\n\n
