Tweaked Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Art museum summer openings are rapidly approaching. Revival - June 23 thru September 10, 2017 "In celebration of NMWA’s 30th anniversary in 2017, Revival presents contemporary sculptors and photo-based artists whose arresting aesthetics and intense subject matter spur viewers into a transcendent encounter with the art object. These artists favor figurative or highly allusive imagery, yet they center their works on the unconscious, ferreting out the unspoken through disquieting referents including fragmented bodies, peculiar creatures, and wayward children. The exhibition demonstrates how artists engage space to generate intensity. Large-scale sculpture, photographs, and video installations create immersive, mesmeric environments. Smaller, painstakingly fabricated works draw the viewer in to deliver strong sensorial impact. Featuring works by Petah Coyne, Lalla Essaydi, Joana Vasconcelos, and others, Revival illuminates how women regenerate sculpture and photo-based art to profound expressive effect."
