KINK Contemporary

Dual Civilizations by Jason Milburn is now open! Stop by this evening to view the exhibition between 5-9 pm ✨

This Saturday! Join us on July 13 from 5 to 9 p.m. for the opening reception of Jason Milburn's solo exhibition "Dual Civilizations."

"Dual Civilizations," explores how people create religion, myths, and self-help techniques to navigate confusion and hardship. Through references to Bible storybooks and comic books, both seminal literature in Milburn's youth, religious and secular societies collide, sharing space and daily activities and routines. These interactions seem to result in friendly cooperation just as easily as frustrated disagreements as the two groups' ways of thinking and living begin to intertwine and differences and similarities begin to manifest.

"I started using references that are familiar from my childhood because I wasn't feeling a connection to the figures in magazines and catalogs I had been using. The separation of the rendered figure from the more ethereal background is important because it feels like the figure is moving through, not just around, something."–Milburn
