Come What May, It Takes A Silver Bullet by Abiose Spriggs
Rochester Contemporary Art Center
137 East Ave.
Nov 4, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Come What May, It Takes A Silver Bullet features nearly two dozen artworks by local artist, Abiose Spriggs. These multi-media works examine Brutus Jones, the main character in “Emperor Jones” (1933), played by Paul Robeson; and his struggles, his rise, and his final downfall. The work is also infused with the artist’s reflections on both the groundbreaking aspects of the film, and its use of dated and problematic tropes.
This exhibition will be on view this First Friday alongside two other exhibitions at RoCo that continue through November 12.
