Strand on Volta is an art gallery that James Alefantis owned from 2005-2007 and its a host to plenty of sicko artists as usual for this crowd and just adds to what we already know that none of these things are coincidences they've been advertising this sick shit in our face all along.

(ODDLY ENOUGH, amid all the images of flesh on view in Strand on Volta's latest group exhibition, shown along with examples of some less readily identifiable bodily tissue/fluid sculpted from molten glass -- teeth? a jawbone? sperm? tears? -- the word that springs to mind is not "meat" but "plastic." As in pliable, capable of being molded, able to deform continuously and permanently without rupturing. This is, I think, central to the point of "Meat and You," a smart if somewhat esoteric show organized by artist James Huckenpahler to underscore not only our relationship to meat but our embodiment of it.) https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2003/10/10/strand-on-volta-cuts-in-to-some-meaty-issues/8a433284-af01-4d27-aff1-2afd819a815b/?utm_term=.1ddc9b357597

(THERE'S THE creepiness of a horror movie to Craig Doty's art, on view at Strand on Volta. Which is to say you might want to cover your eyes while peeking through the cracks of your fingers at the same time. I'm not just talking about the artist's more overtly spooky images, several of which depict nighttime scenes featuring characters engaged in behavior that could be construed as threatening, or in response to threat. Even Doty's most innocuous images -- and there's a kind of calm, classical innocence to almost all of them -- feel illicit, if not illegal. Should I be watching this, or reporting it? ) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/09/AR2005060900651.html

Transformer Gallery artist trying to promote pedophilia - "NoMüNoMü maintains a diverse selection of artists whose make up cuts through the lines of race, age, gender and orientation, in order to create shows that can push dialogues and audiences towards a truer understanding of the intersectionality within the field of art, so as to transform it entirely." http://www.transformerdc.org/exhibitions/overview/exhibition-gift-shop
