Although arguably one of Charleston’s greatest artists, Quashie tends
to fly under the radar with few official gallery shows. Quashie left
Charleston for several years following the backlash that his
controversial MOJA exhibit, The Black American Dream, received in 1996. He moved West and found work as a comedy sketch writer on MADtv
and a few other comedy series, and in 2001 he received an Emmy for
documentary writing. Lucky for us, he has returned to Charleston and
he’s continued making art that challenges the status quo in a smart,
witty way.
His Redux show will be on view March 30-May 6 with an opening reception
Fri. April 6. It will also include an outdoor mural playing off of the
imagery of the board game Monopoly. Quashie will give a gallery talk at
Redux on Fri. April 6 at 7 p.m. See Quashie’s work at quashie.com and find out more about the exhibit at reduxstudios.org.
