Kidnapped Pagans: A Charlotte Arts Project Organized by Jonell Logan, founder of 300 Art Project, this arts public/private art installation features work by former Charlotte resident Antoine Williams. Engaging in issues of history, culture, and the black experience, Williams combines drawing, painting, and collage to present and challenge the spaces that people of color occupy within our society. Kidnapped Pagans is one model for community ownership and engagement in the arts. As an independent curator, Logan partnered with The Mint Museum, individual property owners, Charlotte Center City Partners and Charlotte Urban Design, City of Charlotte, to bring the work to Charlotte. In addition to being at The Mint, work by Antoine Williams was installed on newspaper kiosks and private buildings throughout Charlotte. The intention is to expand the exhibition beyond the museum boundaries, foster personal interaction with the work within our communities, and expand our collective understanding of how and where art can impact our lives.

Re:Materialization: The Work of Jan-Ru Wan
For 20 years Jan-Ru Wan has been re-using found objects, especially those that have been discarded from industrial factories in her sculpture and site-specific installations, thereby re-inventing their purpose. Wan is exceptionally strong conceptually and sensitively mixes materials to maximize their ability to evoke emotional responses.
Wan’s work is inspired partially by the duality of being born in Taiwan but educated in the United States. Searching to identify commonalities, her labor intensive, process-driven practice explores the commonalities of the human condition. Wan’s rich sewing and design tradition is fused with contemporary art making methodologies. The result are works that visualize questions around faith, life and death, femininity and womanhood, and concepts of otherness.
A catalog will be produced in conjunction with ReMaterialization . The publication will include an essay by Logan, and a piece by Edie Carpenter, Director of Curatorial and Artistic Programs at GreenHill Center for North Carolina Art in Greensboro, North Carolina.
