A catalogue, Hello From Gate City, produced by UNC
Greensboro with an essay by Harry Swartz-Turfle will
accompany the exhibition.
"On Tate Street
in Greensboro, North Carolina sits a small two-lane underpass, unremarkable
unless you look closely. The underpass allows access under train tracks to the
railroads that helped give the town its nickname 'Gate City.'
The tracks form their
own space but also separate two very different neighborhoods: on one side,
College Hill, a charming historic neighborhood with Queen Anne homes and the Weatherspoon Art Museum, which houses a large collection of
Matisse and one of de Kooning's Women;
the other side, a vacant mini-mart, a quick-burger joint, and a car rim shop
that was an Asian massage parlor before it got busted."
