Artist: Jonathan Taube
“Parades are like a map, moving disant people towards each other to focus our civic responsibilities and to reclaim our public space.”
Jonathan Taube is a sophomore interdisciplinary sculpture major. Originally from Covington, Louisiana, Jonathan’s work relates to his experience in Hurricane Katrina when communities came together to clean and rebuild the streets of New Orleans. Jonathan addressed the redevelopment of Covington in his 2006 solo show Post Katrina Growth in which he sowed pounds of salt, along the side of a highway, into construction sites intended for strip malls. He is extremely interested in performance art, public art, and theories of social sculpture. Presently, he focuses on the social potential of Baltimore by working to bridge divisions within the city.
