Gallery 1448 presents the Tell-Tale HeART” This invitational exhibit draws viewers into a haunting world where darkness and romance embrace. A world where bones are made beautiful, insides are exposed for the curious, and narratives of loss are bitterly poetic. They will see a variety of works that linger between the realm of disturbing dreams or grotesque realities, where deep crimson hues may bleed through sepulchral shadows. Approach the edge if you dare and witness art that reveals the heart’s most hidden chambers.

James Year is a working-class Iowa farm boy who got lost on his way to college and ended up in the U.S. Air Force. That unexpected, globetrotting enlistment led to degrees in sociology and media production. He’s won numerous state and national grants and awards—and even a few international ones. He was mistakenly awarded runner-up for the Alexia Professional Grant in 2022, and then won first place on purpose in 2023. He was the first graduate student at
Syracuse University to do either, for his master’s thesis: Stealing Fire: The Collision of Artificial Intelligence and Trucking.
After two years of trying to get that multi-award-winning documentary photography project published, it was adapted into video by More Perfect Union. That video went viral, with over 6 million views on YouTube and Instagram, and was featured on multiple podcasts and radio shows with audiences up to 1 million regular listeners. James is unapologetically biased in favor of the working class—rural to urban, But especially in favor of America’s truckers. People who work for a living deserve better. He’s committed to telling their stories and exploring the intersection between labor, technology, and the environment.
