Despite the Corcoran's lack of involvement with the government, the political climate did not seem hospitable enough for a controversial show such as "The Perfect Moment." With Congressional dispute regarding the National Endowment for the Arts, the gallery saw it as a very sensitive time. They felt that proceeding with the exhibition could be potentially detrimental to N.E.A. appropriations, which could hurt the Corcoran as well as many other art institutions. Many members of the art world saw this decision as a wise one, but Jock Reynolds, The director of the Washington Project, believed it to be "an outright cave-in to conservative political forces who are once again trying to muzzle freedom of expression in the arts." Jock Reynolds and The Washington Project for the Arts then considered presenting the show on their own. +
Despite the artist’s objections and intervention by NCAC, the flag was hung from a beam in a corner of the gallery; Sims boycotted the show.
On March 25, 2015, to further the mission of the compromised Gettysburg show, and in honor of the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War, Sims organized a 13-state funeral for the Confederate flag (#13flagfunerals), three weeks ahead of the shootings at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Sims’s installation was presented in various forms in exhibitions in university galleries and museums across the country.
Finally, on October 26, 2017 in front of the E.W. Scripps Amphitheater at Ohio University, Sims’s concept came full circle. “Confederate Flag: A Public Hanging” took place as originally conceived by the artist, with community participation including music, speeches and readings. Against this backdrop, the flag was ritually hung from a 13-foot gallows in a symbolic act of judgment against the history of white supremacy, the Jim Crow era and our contemporary condition of racially motivated violence.
The performance was sponsored by the off-campus community groups Black Life Action Coalition, Appalachia Resist, Showing Up for Racial Justice, Radical Action for Mountains’ and People’s Survival, Athens Girls Rock Camp, United Campus Ministry, Appalachian Peace and Justice Network and Shagbark Seed and Mill.
Following the events at Scripps Amphitheater, the flag was brought to the Kennedy Museum of Art and installed as “The Proper Way to Hang a Confederate Flag,” in the exhibition “Expression and Repression: Contemporary Art Censorship in America” featuring Kara Walker, Sue Coe and David Wojnarowicz. The show was on view through December 22, 2017. +
