"Unicorns and Rainbows"

Happy Artists... No Such Thing (Kansas City, MO) As a rule, an artist poses a certain amount of self-righteousness, a tad of entitlement and a bit of a fascist opinion that they hold the market on creativity. Egoistically we tend to feel as if we are"thinking outside of the box; As artists, we could not be more wrong. It is through a stubborn battle of wills for our personal artistic comfort zones that the Broken Brick Group will present UNICORNS AND RAINBOWS on August 1st at the Hilliard Gallery. Dont the innocence of the title fool you, unicorns are extremely dangerous and rainbows are filled with plutonium. The goal of the Broken Brick Group has always been to challenge each of us involved, either with subject matter that we are uncomfortable with, media that is unfamiliar to us, or social situations that, frankly, artists struggle in. And with UNICORNS AND RAINBOWS we have pulled the proverbial carpet out from under ourselves and nearly destroyed the group in the process. For how should a collagist, an assemblagist, two painters and a writer approach such a kitschy and cartoon-ish subject? The Broken Brick Group is made up of Kansas City artists Josh Motsinger, Tate Owens, Tyson Schroeder, Scott Allen and Jim Dayton. For each show presented by the group, topics are nominated and then chosen by true democratic process (the one from Texas hires a lawyer to rig the selection process). More
