Inga Loyeva: A Rock and a Hard Place

(see times)
Mule Gallery is proud to announce the solo exhibition, A Rock and a Hard Place, by Inga Loyeva. Featuring new oil paintings, photographs, and video interviews, the show centers on the lived experiences and acquired insights of the artist’s month-long residency at Flint Public Art Projects in Flint, Michigan, the first project of her Murals Across America series.
A Rock and a Hard Place is a visual study of America through the lens of Michigan. Flint and Detroit are both iconic American cities, known for their dizzying rise and fall from grace in relation to their industrial automotive history. The subsequent economic fallout has culminated in the nation’s highest rate of abandoned property, ongoing infrastructural tragedy of the Flint Water Crisis, and the less talked about rise of human trafficking. Loyeva lived in Michigan in October 2017 creating three pieces of public art as a social practice to foster civil discourse. On her time there, Loyeva has stated, “I was filled with hope for a better America as I got to know the people and local organizations crafting meaning and finding a way forward.” This exhibition portrays pointed scenes highlighting the intense philosophical debate in contemporary America: how can we lead a dignified existence, and at what cost?
