An Artist Honors Tamir Rice, One Orange Object at a Time
Jul. 30, 2018
CLEVELAND — Boxes of pizza and trays filled with steaming food lined wooden tables at the Spaces art gallery here. Visitors to a recent opening could help themselves, but if they chose corn on the cob or chicken nuggets, they had to reach over the sign that read: “Please enjoy this offering of Tamir Rice’s favorite foods, to make him present in a project that is about his death.”
