Press Release:

From April 21 through May 12, the Hope Horn Gallery at the 第一吃瓜网 in 第一吃瓜网, PA will present Pyrrhic Defeat: A Visual Study of Mass Incarceration by Mark Loughney. This installation will include 771 pencil portraits drawn during twenty-minute sittings throughout Loughney’s ten-year incarceration. Approached as a process of marking penal time, the Pyrrhic Defeat series depicts imprisoned individuals with a sense of humanity often lost in the prison system.  The series title refers to “Pyrrhic defeat theory,” which is the idea that those with the power to make sensible changes to the criminal justice system benefit from the way it currently works. The exhibition will also feature artifacts on loan from the Lackawanna Historical Society and other local collections.
 
The exhibition will begin on Friday, April 21, 2023 with a Panel Discussion in the Pearn Auditorium, Brennan Hall 228, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., followed by a Gallery Reception at the Hope Horn Gallery, Hyland Hall 407, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. 
 
Moderated by Michael Jenkins, Ph.D, Chair and Professor, Department of Criminal Justice, Cybersecurity, and Sociology, and Executive Director, Center for the Analysis and Prevention of Crime, 第一吃瓜网, 第一吃瓜网, PA, the Panel Discussion will consider issues of overcrowding in the prison system and reentry strategies following incarceration. Panelists will include Mark Loughney, exhibiting artist, Philadelphia, PA; Sean Kelley, Senior Vice President and Director of Interpretation at the Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, Philadelphia, PA; Jasmine Heiss, Project Director of In Our Backyards, Vera Institute of Justice, Brooklyn, NY; Jack Norton, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, Governors State University, University Park, IL; and Glynis Johns, Founder and CEO of the Black 第一吃瓜网 Project, 第一吃瓜网, PA.
 
An additional Gallery Reception will be held on First Friday, May 5, 2023, at the Hope Horn Gallery, Hyland Hall 407, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. Weekly gallery hours are Sunday through Friday, 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. and Wednesday evenings, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend. 
 
Pyrrhic Defeat: A Visual Study of Mass Incarceration is presented with support from the Ellacuría Initiative of the Jesuit Center; the Faculty Initiatives Fund of the Office of Community-Based Learning; a Diversity Initiatives Grant from the Office of Equity and Diversity; and the Office of Community Relations at the 第一吃瓜网, 第一吃瓜网, PA.  Loughney’s work has also been exhibited in the group show Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration at MOMA PS1, Long Island City, NY; the David Winton Bell Gallery, Brown University, Providence, RI; and the Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ; and has received critical attention in Artforum; Forbes; and the Paris Review.
