Скачать или смотреть Elliott Hundley • Proscenium

"Lights up! Proscenium: Elliott Hundley, a mid-career solo exhibition, sets the scene. Sculptures and paintings are activated as dramatic devices, stages rife with an overabundance of sets, props, actors—though not necessarily proffering straightforward scripts. In a theater, the proscenium is the architectural structure around the stage that separates the stage from the audience and the invisible scrim—the fourth wall—between the fictional play and the real world where the audience is seated. Hundley imagines a scene that is an alternative to the one we exist in. Ancient Greek gods are still worshipped. Gravity is defied by floating rocks and columns. Stickpins, paper, feathers, goat hooves, and spangles have amassed into an impossibly complex and impractical confection held together by a miracle.

Proscenium: Elliot Hundley opens with By Achilles’ Tomb: Elliot Hundley in Ludington Court, an intervention by the artist contrasting and complementing his own works with the Museum’s renowned collection of antiquities.

Proscenium: Elliot Hundley is made possible through the generosity of The Earl and Shirley Greif Charitable Trust, Lilac Drive Foundation, Margaret Campbell Arvey, Susan D. Bowey, Jacquelyn Klein-Brown, Merrill W. Sherman, Susan and Bruce Worster, and anonymous donors." via ‪@SbmaNet‬
