SHIFT HAPPENS | March 12 – June 26, 2021

GreenHill presents a compelling series of site-specific installations in tape and video, luminous abstract paintings, drawings, as well as participatory projects by Knightdale artist Heather Gordon. Visitor responses and collaboration will inform the creation of dynamic new works inside and outside the Gallery. SHIFT HAPPENS expands GreenHill’s public art initiative “One Love Response”, that was created by Gordon and inspired by the “One Love” street mural on Greensboro’s North Davie Street.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               At a time of global unrest and isolation, the exhibition creates space for conversation. Immersive, evolving installations encourage viewers to come together and consider: "Where are the truths we yearn to reveal?" In SHIFT HAPPENS, Gordon examines language phrases surrounding COVID-19 reporting.  The titles of many of Gordon’s works are the basis for their design.  Phrases like "essential worker" are translated by the artist into numbers and then origami shapes to make “maps” that in turn become paintings or tape installations.
