FEB 22

Sorry to get this out at the last minute,
I know many of you will have already gotten mailings for this event from other sources.

Three peepshows from the Empire S.N.A.F.U. Restoration Project are on display for this event. Should be fun. Many artists involved, and in theory much performance happening both in gallery and in the rest of the building, which is an amazing piece faux-Moroccan architecture with bronze leaf covered walls.
The Empire S.N.A.F.U. Restoration Project won't be providing any performance for this one because Harvard nixed nudity. Sigh…

RELICS FROM THE EMPIRE S. N. A. F. U. RESTORATION PROJECT


ICONOCLASM


Themes of Christian Iconography in art, potent for two millennia, continue to
be fruitful subjects for exploring issues of faith, rejections of faith, and
cultural legacy, regardless of our own religious backgrounds. Christian
faith, though constantly reinvented, relies heavily on the visual codes
developed by artists and artisans centuries ago. The Iconoclasm show seeks
to reexamine the impact of spirituality in a contemporary context, both
breaking with and celebrating the visual and ideological models of the past.
The exhibiting artists come to this subject from a variety of backgrounds and
approaches: from positions of profound faith, from reactions against
organized religion, from non-Christian and Christian backgrounds alike,
exploring and questioning the role of Christianity and belief within our
culture and history.
