MIXING MESSAGES

In Vortexhibition Polyphonica on September 29, 2009 at 6:50 pm

Mixing Messages explores various forms of language and allegory in art with Allen Ruppersberg’s Poster Objects at its core. This irreverent selection takes on politics, morality, and the human condition through works by William Hogarth, John Baldessari, and Gary Hill as well as West Coast Funk ceramics and ukiyo-e prints.

Suspend focuses on Paul Kos’s Not If, But When, a conceptual art work ruminating on time and belief. The works in this subgroup venture into a more intangible realm and include prayer rugs and tankas; prints, photographs, and paintings; and sculptures that defy gravity.

TRANSFORM

In Vortexhibition Polyphonica on September 29, 2009 at 6:49 pm

At the center of Transform is E.V. Day’s Cherry Bomb Vortex providing ready connections to pieces in the Henry’s costume and textile collection that speak to the ways we dramatically change the human form through fashion. It also connects to contemporary works by Cindy Sherman, Lucas Samaras, Christian Holstad and several others that depict shape-shifting and metamorphosis.
