In 2016 Willis “Bing” Davis hosted a team exhibit at his smaller gallery in West Dayton. Dubbed “Black Daily life as Subject matter Issue,” it supposed to existing a a few-dimensional perspective of the Black knowledge, capturing scenes ranging from the mundane to the political. 

At the time, Bing mailed the display catalog to a selection of museums and galleries “with the hopes of trying to make one thing,” he stated by cell phone earlier this 7 days from the Willis Bing Davis Artwork Studio and EbonNia Gallery in Dayton, and the only reaction he gained was from Springfield Museum of Art. Five years later, in 2021, Bing curated “Black Lifestyle as Matter Issue II” for the Springfield Museum of Art, and this weekend the show helps make its way to Downtown Columbus, opening at the Riffe Gallery on Saturday, April 30, and managing as a result of July 8.
