Colette Copeland: My Jesse James Adventure at the Old Jail Art Center and Jody Klotz Fine Art
June 2022 | Sherry Cheng
Driving alone through the middle of the country, spanning nine states and more than 4,000 miles, Dallas-based artist, cultural critic, and social activist Colette Copeland spent three summers visiting the numerous sites where Jesse James lived and outlawed, filming on location throughout her performative journey. The result is a 22-channel video installation which will be on view June 4-August 20 at the Old Jail Art Center (OJAC) in Albany, TX as part of its Cell Series, a long-standing series of exhibitions featuring the works of contemporary Texas artists.
