Tell us about it Visit us online [email protected] FEATURES www.KSUSentinel.com Appearances can be deceiving Controversial art of Juan Logan featured in “Caught Off Guard” exhibit

MARY E. YORK STAFF WRITER

The end of the semester is near and conversations consist mostly of graduation, finals, papers and course projects. Those in need of a conversa- tion alternative, visit the “Juan Logan: Caught Off Guard” art exhibit. With selected works from 1965 to 2005, the exhibit is sure to provoke some controversial conversations. At first glance, these works may seem highly provocative, but Logan challenges observers to keep looking for a deeper meaning. Logan seems to insinuate through his painting that ap- pearances can be deceiving. The title of the exhibit, “Caught Off Guard,” Proletarian Mother Tossing Flowers on Her Homosexual Son’s Grave, 1970 implies that something is being guard- ed, but through Logan’s works, one aspect, Black Arts Movement had abuse. discovers subjects outside the bound- no interest in his work because of his Logan’s “The Dark Took Only Him aries thought to be secured. nonverbal rejection of the Black Power Away” [2005] features several large, As an African-American man, Movement. blue, face-shaped pieces of tarpaper.
