2021-22 Hodder Fellow Mark Thomas Gibson discusses his latest exhibition, HERE YE, HEAR YE!!!
Artist Mark Thomas Gibson returned to the Princeton campus for two events surrounding his exhibit HERE YE, HEAR YE!!! which featured paintings, drawings and collages engaging caricature and satire. The exhibition of new work was created by Gibson during the course of his 2021-22 Hodder Fellowship and was on display from Oct. 22 – Nov. 23, 2022 in the Hurley Gallery.
Gibson originally conceived HERE YE, HEAR YE!!! as an examination of the early Biden presidency but quickly understood that events beyond the presidency are the main attraction. The title of the exhibition is a declaration of shared place and time and an acknowledgement of how grotesque he sees these times. One part town crier, one part Twitter feed, one part government protester, and one part inner monologue, Gibson’s work visualizes the stream going on inside all our heads as we try to navigate life in a heavily mediated world.
