The STUFF of Legends

Curated by Margaret Meehan

Gray Matters Gallery is pleased to present The STUFF of Legends, curated by
Margaret Meehan. This exhibition brings together a diverse range of artists
who reference mythic figures, evoking gender, fame, popular culture and
politics. Using sculpture, painting, photography, works on paper and video
these artists ask: how do we understand our world in an age of constantly
changing, copied, pasted and linked information? Does historical context
have a place in an ever-evolving present when most of what we see, hear and
read is based on a subtle mix of truth, distortion and lies? The show will
include the melancholy glam rock performance of Glitter Chariot;
uncomfortably humorous and horrific work by both Libby Black and Lauren
Woods; and sculptures by Gregory Ruppe and TJ Hunt, who reference art
historical icons. All eight artists ask us to pause in the space between
fact and fiction, playing on the assumed distance between collective memory,
reinvention and pure imagination.
 
Gallery Hours will be 12-4pm / Saturdays through May 10th
and by appointment.

The exhibition runs through Saturday May 10th.
