Guns for Art

Folks often ask how we dispose of the guns that we pick up. Since our mission is to re-home unwanted firearms, we first try to place them with somebody who can use them, maintain them properly and store them safely. We have even placed some guns in museums.

If a gun is not working, we break it down into parts so a broken old gun can get a new life. 

Now, however, Gatling Gun Rescue(tm) is proud to announce a new destination for your donations.

Dallas multi-media visual artist and arts educator Colette Copeland has incorporated Gatling-donated guns into her new exhibition, My Jesse James Adventure.
​

Three years in the making, the work highlights her ancestor, the notorious outlaw Jesse James.
 
The exhibition includes a 22-channel video installation, framed solar plate etchings, as well as an original musical score composed by Dallin B. Peacock and an original audio guide featuring Dallas actor Ike Duncan.
 
The project addresses the cultural mythos of criminals, specifically how the icon Jesse James was/is presented and commodified in books, films, comics and historical sites. It also explores  the fascination with DNA networks such as ancestryDNA.com.
 
Copeland's work is on display  August 14 - September 26, 2020, at SP/N Gallery, 3020 Stewart Drive, Richardson, Texas, 75080. The exhibit is open Tuesday through Saturday by appointment at 972-883-2111.
