*misdated and terrible documentation. The gallery walls were painted with a white border and the sloppy geometric abstractions were hung on those walls. The Gallery was in a converted butcher shop and had these amazing stone floors that had gutters for blood. The painting I recreated was black squares on a stretched blue shirt and was framed 3 sides around.

“My focus is on the role of representation in the construction of culture and meaning. Like an amateur historian, I attempt to grasp the larger arc of history by favoring mundane objects and by collecting stories. Historical reenactment is a model for my studio practice as reenactments are both a representation of an event and the event itself. I reference historical eras by representing distinct objects and events such as ballistic diagrams, Valley Forge, birch bark canoes, New World exploration and by representing diverse historical figures such as Pocahontas, Arthur Ashe, George Washington, and Marion Barry.” 

Born in 1981, United States. Barbee lives and works in Galveston, Texas.
