In their exhibition Game II, Julia Mandle and Gayle Wells Mandle use images of chairs and a teeter-totter to depict humanity’s eternal struggle against imbalanced societies that deny their citizens equal opportunity. Inspired by current events in the Middle East and the United States – where the Occupy movement and subsequent 2012 presidential election brought issues of economic inequity to the forefront – they express their ideas through a combination of media, styles and objects that infuse their art with topical meaning and depth. Their collaborative exhibition stems from a warm partnership they refer to as 'mother, daughter, gasoline' dedicated to making art that speaks for a majority of the world's people who aspire to greater security, opportunity and justice in the world.
