Honey B is a one-night show documenting the recent thematic and philosophical explorations of artist Bailey Sheehan. Staged as a night of apologetic post-human
poetry from the mouths of his objects themselves, Sheehan’s works dissect and affirm an ecology of things and thingness. Honey B establishes itself as a theater for an energetically depressive preview of the end of the world, an object-oriented sublime manifesto. Presenting new and old works in a hive of interrelation, Sheehan constructs sly and effacing object monologues that tackle the big questions; what it means to be styrofoam, discourses between boys and faux turtles, and the ultimate natural disaster: love in the age of global warming.
Honey B will feature paintings, sculptures, poetry and a small collection of essays written by Sheehan and frequent collaborators, edited by Logan Wyatt. Sheehan is assisted in the curation of the event by Katherine Kennedy.
Bailey Sheehan is a junior at the Maryland Institute College of Art currently working towards his BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture. His work will be the work presented in the show.
Katherine Kennedy and Logan Wyatt are sophomores at the Maryland Institute College of Art, pursuing BFAs in Painting/Interdisciplinary Sculpture and Interdisciplinary
Sculpture respectively. Kennedy’s paintings will be appropriated by Sheehan and paired with his new works. Wyatt will assist in the editing of Sheehan’s essays.
Work will not be for sale.
