For Rush, Gary Simmons transforms the gallery into a vast chalkboard-like environment, drawing and partially erasing imagery and texts to question how history and cultural memory are constructed — and what gets erased. The exhibition evokes the mythology of westward expansion, nodding to frontier motifs like covered wagons and cabins, while using sepia tones, shooting-star imagery, and partly erased visuals to interrogate the promises and erasures embedded in American identity. Works include large-scale wall drawings, paintings, and a building-facade mural, blending popular-culture references and historical critique.
