Gift of MCQ Fine Art in honor of Aurore Giguet
2016.11
Ludic and raw, the performances, drawings, paintings, and assemblages of Aaron Sheppard offer the viewer a world in which identity is fluid and experimentation is open to everyone. He has exhibited or performed at Western Project, CA; DUMBO Arts Center, NY; Trifecta, Las Vegas; and the Mermaid Parade of Joshua Tree, CA. UNLV MFA 2009.
The original Mermaid Parade, a celebration of vernacular art costuming, takes place annually in Coney Island, NYC. Wanting to honor the event at his new home in Joshua Tree, CA, ex-New Yorker (and ex-Las Vegan) Aaron Sheppard invited his friends to create their own costumes and curate a walk through the desert.
