Sadie Hawkins Dance

"SADIE HAWKINS DANCE brings together new works of painting, drawing, video, sculpture, and other media in conversation. SOUTHFIRST asked fourteen artists to invite a partner to make work with or show new work beside for the show. (...) The title Sadie Hawkins refers to the comic book character that inspired the role reversal dances of the 1930s and 1940s, in which women invited men. The show gently flips the curatorial premise in which a curator chooses work for an exhibition by letting artists choose each other.
