Justin Emmanuel Dumas in Conversation with Harrison Kinnane Smith

"The goal of making something that is just visually pleasing, I think, can actually derail the process of trying to make something that has an actual narrative embedded into it, or has this legibility on the surface, if you will."

Reverie Pink by Sidney Mullis

​"Working in ink, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and oil, Hall shares moments of romantic escape. Her two-dimensional works reveal scenes of girls, teenagers and princesses isolated and unbothered in idyllic open fields, green forests, cool fountains, and sacred childhood bedrooms. The environments provide the young women with reprieve, or at least a moment of quiet transition. "

Bunker Talks: Nick Drain and Harrison Kinnane Smith in Conversation

Published in the Bunker Review's new Hand-Off series, Drain's essay What Are You Looking At?  uses photographic history, Simone Brown’s sousveillance, and Jeremy Bentham’s panopticon to uncover the entangled relationship between “the technology that is race and the technology that is photography.” Join us for a virtual conversation between Drain and Bunker Review editor Harrison Kinnane Smith about Drain's essay, and how he addresses the questions it raises in his art.
