Awards:
Becca Cook. Recieved high regard for her art installation “Chains” as number 7 of Savannah Art Informer’s Top 10 Art Shows of 2015.
(We’re counting Chains as its own exhibition due to its scale and stand-alone message.) Making a statement about the unconscionable rate of incarceration in America, Becca Cook installed 2.2 million white crochet chain-links in Sulfur Studios’ entryway – one link for each person currently imprisoned in the U.S. When it was finished, Cook’s installation was a silent monument to a moment of shame and sadness that is currently ongoing. Both beautiful and oppressive, we think it was one of the most successful installations of the year. Click here to read our article about it.
