John Douglas: A Life Well Lived at
The Gallery @ The Karma Bird House,
47 Maple St., Burlington, VT
Monday - Saturday, 8:00AM - 3:00PM,
June 22 - Aug. 22, 2022
RECEPTION: Saturday, June 25th 5:30-7:30PM
John Douglas’ memorial retrospective documents his long, productive, and substantive body of work. Douglas called himself a “Truth Activist”. His irreverent, activist beliefs, and Zen-like appreciation of the world fueled his decades of creative output. Douglas unceasingly addressed injustice, hypocrisy, unjust wars, and climate change. In “Homeland Security'' he leverages American symbols and uses himself as a central actor with near complete humility to create a forceful critique of our cultural priorities.
NNEMoCA engages people with important ideas, the ongoing dialogue in contemporary visual arts & culture, and creates transformative experiences for visitors by fostering meaningful dialogue and challenging established perceptions.
