In the tradition of Walt Whitman, Willie Nelson, Ernest Hemingway, Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson, Wes Lang has curated a visual road trip through present day America. He and his ten-man band traverse their country while painting, drawing, sculpting and photographing the landscape, the people and the American history and heritage. Good and bad, splendor and dullness, treasures and trash are all ingredients in the melting pot, where the mundane and the grand are equal partners.

America is engaged in a curious and reflected manner freed from moral judgment. A fascination for the free spirit, bikers, American Indians, artists, immigrants, outsiders, and highway culture flows like an undercurrent through the show. The artists connected with the show come from various states, they have different agendas, and they perceive things differently. The exhibition should therefore not be perceived as an answer. Rather it should be read as an investigative tale told by wanderers as they roam the roads of their country and own identity.
