WHEN I GROW UP…
The battle lines have been drawn. It always seems to be between
"them" and "us" -- those darn snowbirds, those seniors
on the highway driving so slowly, bluehairs in the supermarket line
with all those time-consuming coupons.
But who's kidding whom? In reality, we are "them"
and they are "us." Both factions harbor concerns about
rent or mortgage, health care, fitness, entertainment and perceptions
of self by people outside of immediate family. So why is it that
the two camps hardly ever communicate about these issues? Most multi-generational conversations, when they actually happen with
someone other than our own relatives, focus on the past and much less
on contemporary issues of daily life.
Taking brief glimpses at the current lives of seniors existing in a variety
of communities and living situations, When I Grow up… examines
issues every human deals with, in one way or another, during his or her
lifetime. The work by the five artists appearing in this exhibition
addresses such universal subjects as independence, the creative thinking
process, dependency, displacement, physical fitness, racism, and attempts
to impose order on one's own surroundings.
