| Welcome to Undercover Holidays!
JULY AT GALLERY4CULTURE Opening: 1st Thursday, July 7, 6-8 P.M. (King County, WA) Keeara Rhoades’ solo installation for Gallery4Culture, Undercover Holidays, peers inside the dugout to present baseball via four all-American girls. In a material conscious, multi-media extravaganza that incorporates video, altered photographs and sound, Rhoades, channels her family while playing each role herself. The artworks are fundamentally a study of Rhoades’ own persona and ask the question: what in is inherited and what is the product of environment? The Players: Pitcher, catcher, batter and umpire—each position, costume, and movement reflects a unique temperament. Playing baseball is a physical manifestation of each separate persona. Undercover Holidays presents the idea that each position functions as part of a unit. It exposes the reliance that each member has on the others. Each player reveals discrete parts of an individual; as the parts come together, they make a whole. Keeara Rhoades' work conveys the idea that we are each our own team.
