Locust Projects presents Trenton Doyle Hancock: I Made a Mound City in Miami Dade County

Sunday, November 17th from 1-3pm experience the Opening Reception of Trenton Doyle Hancock’s ‘I Made a Mound City in Miami Dade County‘ at Locust Projects. The heroic adventures of Torpedo Boy and his battles in the Moundverse continue at Locust Projects this fall with a new site-specific installation by Houston-based artist Trenton Doyle Hancock. This is Hancock’s first large scale solo exhibition since opening his major survey, Mind of the Mound: Critical Mass, at MASS MoCA in March 2019.

Hancock tells the story of the Mounds (gentle hybrid plant-like creatures) protected by Torpedo Boy, and their enemies, the Vegans (mutants who consume tofu and spill Mound blood every chance they get). These narratives–told through paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, video and installation–explore good and evil, authority, race, class, moral relativism, politics and religion, as well as making unapologetic nods to comic books, illustrations, animations, horror films, and toys. The exhibition is on view through February 8, 2020.
