Silver Sparrow. Hailed by the Guardian as moving, intimate and wise and part Bildungsroman, part homage to 1980s Atlanta, Silver Sparrow tells the story of two sisters whose lives intersect by chance after not knowing about each other s existence up to that point. Spinning off from the Big Read and starting new interdisciplinary conversations around the ideas in Jones novel, the UCF Art Gallery on Jan. 11 debuted the group art exhibition But Before Bone Is Skin, a mixed-media show curated by Jonell Logan. Logan, an independent curator and contemporary arts advocate who has in the past worked with the Whitney and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, currently is in North Carolina working as the Creative Director for the McColl Center for Art + Innovation. Logan showcases work from Melissa Alexander, Shanequa Gay, Yanique Norman, Sharon Norwood and Zipporah Camille Thompson to present new looks at and reflections on Jones novel.
