St EOM Show at Institue 193, KY
until June 22, 2018
Eddie Owens Martin (1908 –1986), better known as St. EOM, founded his own religion, Pasaquoyanism, in response to visions he had that started in his early twenties. In them, he was visited by giant men with long beards parted down the middle and hair that stood straight up from their heads. They instructed him to build Pasaquan, an expansive compound in his hometown of Buena Vista, Georgia, on which he built pagodas, temples, shrines, and dance floors made of cement and sand lavishly decorated with bright patterns and bas-relief, vividly painted representations of the beings that would continue to visit him over the course of his life. "St. EOM: Pasaquoyanism" at Institute 193 explores this one-man cult.

until October 13, 2018
Although seen from a Roma, Gypsy, Traveller perspective, the ongoing project "Safe European Home?" which Damian and Delaine le Bas have been showing throughout Europe since 2011, encompasses their broader protest against the phantom of fascism they believe to be stalking the continent. First shown outside the parliament building in Vienna in 2011, the project returns to the artists’ hometown. Paying tribute to Damian who passed away in December, the exhibition features archive material alongside new works by Alex Michon and a photographic installation by Julia Horbaschk.
