BOSTON WE ARE COMING FOR YOU!

MATERIAL DEVIANCE IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN CULTURE will also tour to the University of North Carolina, Charlotte October 17th-18th, 2019. More info soon.

WORLD PREMIERE :

Material Deviance in Contemporary American Culture takes a sideways look at our object-based reality. Reflecting stuff-centered culture back to ourselves, this dream state passes through shame, nostalgia, patriotism, and the weight of inheritance. Choreographer and hybrid performance artist Alice Gosti asks, Do objects imbued with so much of our worth start to take over and take on a life of their own? This cluttered landscape expands like a hoarder’s collection and contracts like an immigrant’s suitcase. It breathes like capitalism, filling an existential void whose appetite is endless. Material Deviance helps us uncover what is buried under the steep piles along the path from our bed to the bedroom door. We hold it in our hands.

Vanitas (Eat, drink and be merry.)
ALICE's performance will be on MAY 31st, 2014.

Thursday, April 17 at 5:00pm - 7:00pm
https://www.facebook.com/events/673797962658466/

Pendulous steaks, rot of berries and blood sausage, pie fights that signal the twilight of the patriarchy, paintings made with L’Oreal hair dye, bleach, soy sauce, Koolaid and hot sauce, candelabra choking on their own corpulence....

Vanitas paintings were a genre of symbolic still life tableuax that peaked in opularity in Northern Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. The imagery served as a sensuous if morbid reminder of the vanity and brevity of life and usually comprised a mashup of fruit (fresh or in stages of decay), flowers, skulls, mold, soap bubbles or smoke. Sometimes lemons were thrown in for good measure, on account of their bitterness. 

For Vanitas, six artists (Brandon Aleson, Jim Demetre, Alice Gosti, Sean McElroy, Anthony Sonnenberg and Sam Whalen) re-imagine and re-image the vanitas, sometimes stretching the concept to the point of exquisite (and messy) slippage.

Join us for refreshments (wine and cake, of course) and a reception on Friday, April 17th at Hedreen Gallery.

Exhibit ends May 31, 2014
