The Carr Center features works by Jason Philips in their windows

DLECTRICITY partnering organization, The Carr Center, will feature artworks projected in their windows by artist Jason Philips during the festival, showcasing works from their current gallery exhibition, “Multifaceted: A Digital View of Jason Philips Work.”

Jason Philips is a Multidisciplinary artist whose work symbolically and metaphorically reflects narratives of people of the African Diaspora. His work shares a multitude of perspectives including those of Black joy, beauty, intergenerational trauma, racial inequity and ideas of home. Along with being a painter, he uses the human body as an artistic canvas in his tattoo work.

As a precursor to his respective solo exhibition opening this fall in The Carr Center, Philips work will be shown as a digital tryptic. Created through rear projection into gallery windows, enabling viewers to be engulfed in the monolithic scale of Philips work.

The Carr Center is located in the Park Shelton at 15 E. Kirby Street, near the DLECTRICITY Food Court.
