Through the prism of their own interracial relationship, Bradley McCallum and Jacqueline Tarry make collaborative multimedia and performance art that investigates social injustice. At Kinkead Contemporary, they show more than two dozen paintings — in their exhibition named after George Wallace's inflammatory 1963 pro-segregation speech — made by mining publicly archived photos of the Civil Rights movement. The duo translates these records into black-and-white paintings and overlays reprints of the original photographs on transparent silk to create double images. The strongest works include Moving through Cloud , which captures balletic figures amid a crowd disturbance, and Disorder , an eerily languid aerial view of another protest's aftermath. McCallum and Tarry's gestural craftsmanship communicates anew the historical disgraces of race relations in America, forcing the realization that as long as scandals like Jena occur, Wallace's anti-integration vision is preserved.
