Involuntary. Loss(y). Privacy., work by Stephen Flemister and Julian Williams at Blanc Gallery | May 11, 2012

“Involuntary. Loss(y). Privacy” is a timely compilation of works that looks at the Internet’s evolving impact on our daily lives and the ways in which we are unintentionally identified/identifiable by data that is collected, captured and stored. Recent events in the national news media about racial profiling remind us of just how powerful a single fleeting image or profile can be in determining whether one is labeled menace or martyr. Stephen Flemister and Julian Williams are deeply invested in using portrait painting as a vehicle for exploring this duality. || blancchicago.com/
