The concept of destruction is complicated and vast. At the same time, ironically, no one really needs it explained.

The twenty eight artists in You’re Breaking Up choose to tackle the theme of destruction in a multitude of ways through a focus on war, the breaking of trust, the separation of families, damage to the environment, the death of beauty, the breaking of a heart, the end of the world, accidental destruction, erasure of the past, and breaks in time between youth and old age.

Sometimes there are physical acts of destruction that underscore these concepts – abrasion, scratching, tearing, erasure – but not always. As heavy as this topic is, at the same time, there is a lightness in some of the work. These artists recognize destruction as sometimes a necessary part of arriving at a new place, the merging of cultures or a rising from ashes to generate new growth. This doesn’t make destruction okay, but it does make it worth examining.

Artists Include: Onaje Benjamin, Jess Blaustein, Alaiyo Bradshaw, Lucille Colin, Matthew Crain, Maxine Davidowitz, Maureen Gates, Dan Goldman, Ed Grant, James Hannaham, Trang Huynh, Yoko Izu, Roxie Johnson, Chong Kang, Tracy Leavitt, Dorothea Marcus, Jim Nickel, Yukie Ohta, David Ort, Suzanne Parker, Susan Phillips, Eileen Power, Regina Quinn, Betsey Regan, John Scribner, Amy Silberkleit, Linda Stillman, Mimi Young
