Passion for the Possible.


Currently showing in Sydney at the Monster Children Gallery is "Passion for the Possible- Works by Sister Corita", curated by RVCA ANP advocate Aaron Rose. (Curator of the traveling art exhibition and book "Beautiful Losers".) You may remember the article on Corita Kent in Issue 6 of ANP Quarterly. In the 60's, Sister Corita was an influential artist, screen printer, teacher, philosopher, political activist- and considered the West-coast alternative of Warhol- all while being a Catholic Nun. Branded by the church as a "guerilla with a paint brush”, she was forced to leave the order in 1969. Her contemporaries included Charles and Ray Eames, John Cage, Saul Bass, and Alfred Hitchhock. The show runs until tomorrow. RVCA ANP has some great photos of the set up and preparation of the exhibit.
