(hu)Man Made Plagues

Tabb writes of this work in the "Humanity Is Not A Spectator Sport" exhibition catalogue (available for purchase):

"Paint skins camouflage a game show version of Russian Roulette. The spinner is a toy rifle coated with the colors of blood and violence. It spins all too easily on a background of a variety of skin tones, stopping only at a sharp rusted saw blade.

Racism, hate, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia—to name a few plagues of our society—are as man-made as this game."

...

Caron Tabb’s newest show, Humanity Is Not A Spectator Sport explores many subjects, from her white privilege to how all viewers can engage in social justice through art. Using not only her own works, body, mind and experience, but also gallery walls, Tabb’s feminist contemporary art as a jewish female artist leads to unique creations. Weaving in her South African origins, her Israeli upbringing and her last two decades in the United States, Tabb’s unique yet international style in art sets her apart. Now working from Boston, her conceptual wall art and sculptures continue to grow and evolve.
