Descrip­tion: Con­tin­u­ing on from a walk in the mountains(Pacific Crest Trail 2007), John Raux’s been paint­ing in response to his jour­ney in Kansas City, and the last year of his life. The show includes 20 oil paint­ings that are all 16×24 inches (in con­trast to the 11ft pieces a year ago at the Bad Seed). The instal­la­tion will also include writ­ing and reflec­tions on our rela­tion­ships with home, speed, and the sys­tems of city life. At the open­ing, local song­writer David Ben­nett will per­form on the back patio and will be fol­lowed by a dance party.
