What’s up Neighbor!
Alicia Grullón, though based in NYC, has managed to capture the "get off my lawn" hostility of Cleveland’s neighborhoods during the 2020 elections. I hadn't been in an art gallery in more than a year since the COVID-19 crisis hit the world. It was a delightful experience to visit SPACES; I explored the space by myself; quiet and intimate. For a second, the gallery felt big and empty but I was quickly drawn to the familiar landscapes of the neighborhoods that I drive by daily featured on the walls of the exhibit. The feeling of emptiness disappeared completely when I sat down to watch Alicia Grullón's PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE TOO CLOSE, a video collage that blends video montages, performance, interviews, and so much more.
