Restitution and Recuperation: An Exhibition by Charles H.Lee
October 26, 2024 - December 22, 2024
Scheller and Fowler Galleries
Restitution and Recuperation is an exhibition that underscores matters from the categorical denial of G.I. benefits for many Black soldiers, to the irony of vacant housing on California’s decommissioned military bases and the state possessing the highest homeless veteran population in the nation, to the ecological damage caused by the military industrial complex. These issues are as social as they are political. Using archival documents and contemporary color landscape photographs and visceral sculptures, video montages and installations, this exhibition is a call to action that aims to evoke critical dialogue surrounding solutions, ideas of financial reparation and recompense, and environmental restoration.
