Jacob Berendes curates Non-Fine Arts from 8/6-8/11.Non-Fine Arts presents a collection of artists who do not prioritize display in museum or gallery settings, but prefer to make art directly in and for their communities. while their mechanisms and formats may be non-standard in formal arts institutions, these artists utilize extremely standard methods of information interaction- email, newspapers, comic books, dance parties, pop songs, horror movies, noise. In most cases these decisions are both ideological and practical. — Jacob Berendes

I am a primarily a comic artist and printmaker based in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. I aim to spread weird possible worlds and abolish preciousness. As a queer person with radical politics and confusing desires, I often find myself drawing what I do not yet know to exist but would like to be within. I think that documentation, however frantic and complex/simple is important and that the creating of realities is crucial. — Katrina Clark
