ACTION ORIGINS
Going back to January 2020 (what feels like a million years ago), during Kathleen Henderson’s exhibition at Track 16 one wall was an installation of small drawings sold to raise money for voter registration efforts in Navajo Nation. This collaboration inspired Track 16 to work with other artists in support of a variety of charities throughout the COVID-19 crisis. Over late summer Henderson kept bugging gallery director Sean Meredith saying, “We have to do more!” With COVID-19 and exhibition schedules turned upside down Meredith had trouble wrapping his head around finding the bandwidth to do more. But, finally the two found a path to take and grabbed rounded up some collaborators to turn to the critical issue of the right to vote. As the infamous guerrilla artist Robbie Conal – whose work is included in the sale – likes to say, “Apply what you do best to what you care about most.”
