WHEN WE DEAD AWAKEN
Beers Lambert Contemporary Art
2/2/2012 to 2/26/2012
Wednesday - Sunday, 12-6pm
Appropriating its title from playwright Henrik Ibsen's final play, dating 1899 which debuted at London's Haymarket Theater, When We Dead Awaken is an exhibition that presents themes of art imitating life, and life imitating art. Combined with consciously melodramatic themes of adoration, petrification, and the plight of the artist, the exhibition comments on the myth of the artistic genius and the role of art as consciously self-aware.
