Region 8 artist Rodrecas L. Davis solo exhibition at The Gallery at 118 Cotton Street in Downtown West Monroe from April 1st - May 10th!

Opening reception is Thursday April 4th, 2024 from 5:00pm to 9:00pm, in conjunction with the Downtown Gallery Crawl!

ABOUT THE SHOW: “This is heavyweight funk. Put up your dukes.” The title, taken from the song "Funkentelechy", by Parliament (1977). The song urges the listener to “Mind your wants 'cause there's someone that wants your mind”. When considering imagery for a piece to include in my M.F.A. thesis exhibition, I wanted to create something that could address the persistence of stereotypes in the New Millennium. This work would underline and interrogate then-President Bill Clinton's supposition that closing the Digital Divide would act as both a social and economic panacea. For that, I created P.M.D., or Post Modem Discourse.
