(In)Between
The Wexler Gallery Philadelphia, PA
The Wexler Gallery presented (In)Between; a group show curated by Sienna Freeman, Associate Director of the Wexler Gallery. The exhibition was based loosely on the idea of Vanitas- 16th century Dutch still-life paintings that celebrate life’s pains and pleasures while meditating on their inevitable loss. Featured artists included Damien Hirst, Randall Sellers, Adelaide Paul, Tim Tate, Anne Siems, Dirk Staschke and Joe Boruchow. The show ran from May 2nd through June 28th, 2008. The Opening Reception took place on First Friday, May 2nd from 5-8pm.
Working in two and three dimensions, these seven artists investigate the transitory nature of life and the contemporary human experience. Although their mediums and experiences in the art world are diverse, these artists are linked by a certain uncanny quality possessed by their work. Often illustrated with imagery revolving around the passage of time, nature, and earthly belongings, this quality begs the viewer to consider their own mortality and question their perception of reality.
