Adjunct Professor Pamela Sneed in Group Exhibition ‘Ode to Green’

Ortega y Gasset Projects presents Ode to Green, a group exhibition featuring adjunct professor Pamela Sneed along with ten other artists.

Curated by Ortega y Gasset Projects’ co-director Eric Hibit, the exhibit traverses through the different “versions” of green, such as light, dark, green, and blue, alongside different “flavors” such as sour, sweet, cool, appetizing, and repulsive. “Some evoke nature, while others feel artificial. Green is tremendously versatile and straddles these associative polarities while retaining its identity as GREEN. Ode to Green is about the role of greens in the worlds artists create. Rather than a mere plethora of green, this exhibition includes works in which greens play a crucial role (even if it isn’t the work’s predominant color). Among these artist’s evocations: the skin of a monster, feathers, golf courses, green screen, mysterious sludge, and summer leaves. And what would green be without its complement: red? Or orange?” according to Ortega y Gasset Projects’ website. 

Sneed is a New York-based poet, writer, performer and visual artist. She is author of Imagine Being More Afraid of Freedom than Slavery, KONG and Other Works and a chaplet, Gift by Belladonna. She is also online faculty at Chicago’s School of the Art Institute teaching Human Rights and Writing Art and has been a Visiting Artist at SAIC in the MFA summer low-res program for 4 consecutive years. 

Ode to Green is currently on view from February 6 though March 14, 2021 in Brooklyn, NY
