Barbara Klunder At The David Kaye Gallery

Barbara is showing her recent papercuts in her new exhibition, “BulletProof Vests: Papercut Protection” at the David Kaye Gallery. These new works are a commentary on gun culture and its connection to killings of all kinds all over the planet. Barbara insisting that it’s the role of the artist “to raise danger flags,” Klunder defended her fearless practice of bringing her political views to the forefront in her art.

The show runs until June 28.
