Street Art Installation
Journey into the Pluriverse:
Justice Cognified.
Al Gross | Sculptor and poet

Justice Cognified
Real cognitive justice or justice cognified
Journey into the plural universe
We came from the stars as did every living being on this planet
Star man represents this
Through the sky he fell, though not the same
As we are all now
Upside down man represents this
At the center the 2 heads together represent thought
And the joined hands represent plurality
And the promise of thoughts that are higher than that of ourselves
And how to acknowledge the thoughts of others
On earth where we live…
As two legged beings In order to be whole beings
We must acknowledge that we are made of the same elements that make water and dirt
Through the Ground Man represents this
Infinitely we are made of earth and stars
Al Gross
Al Gross and his artistic partners will construct and present a large-scale art installation. In combination with music and poetry, the artwork seeks to represent humanity’s connection with the universe. The 10-foot tall, rotating sculpture and associated performances emphasizes cognitive justice as the necessary step before we, as a society, are able to realize social justice. The work, created for the SOLIDARITY STREET GALLER 2021 festival, will bring the concept of cognitive justice to the streets of the East Side of St. Paul. Community members and visitors ready to engage will be able to begin their personal journey to deconstruct their internalized, colonialist, white supremacist barriers - to imagine and realize justice on a local and global scale
