Description: Continuing on from a walk in the mountains(Pacific Crest Trail 2007), John Raux’s been painting in response to his journey in Kansas City, and the last year of his life. The show includes 20 oil paintings that are all 16x24 inches (in contrast to the 11ft pieces a year ago at the Bad Seed). The installation will also include writing and reflections on our relationships with home, speed, and the systems of city life. At the opening, local songwriter David Bennett will perform on the back patio and will be followed by a dance party.
