The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Fuller Rosen Gallery presents American Hex, a two-person show featuring new work by Portland based artists Christine Miller and Brittany Vega. Miller and Vega’s varied practices center on the artist as collector, and use their personal archives to shed light on the ills of contemporary American culture. American Hex points to the problematic and charged symbolism an object can hold. Vega, using her own collection of flags, highlights the complications of patriotism and demonstrates the confusion, frustration and hate that exists in our current political system. Miller’s personal collection of Jim Crow-era memorabilia is a reminder of the racism that continues to plague our country like a curse. American Hex will run through March 14, 2020.

Opening reception Saturday February 1, 2020 from 6-9 p.m.
Book launch Saturday February 22, 2020 from 6-8 p.m.
