Matters of Life and Death
This exhibit presents major works or series
of works that investigate the substance
and cyclical metamorphosis of living things.
The artists represented have been driven
to examine the experience that we know as
being alive from the conception and
formation of life through to the experience
of death and transformation.
They work with matter itself: flesh and
blood, dirt and tree limbs, salt and water,
are the vehicles and media they engage in
their conceptual and physical alchemy.
Our goals-
-bring talented artists work to the attention
of the greater public
-emphasize that art has a vital role to play
in our society
-our exhibits recognize and amplify themes
currently being explored by artists often
working independently from the gallery
system.
Artists- We are seeking to add more
artists,and are reviewing submissions

These objects- cart, wheel, collumn,
are familiar yet ancient; building blocks
of civilization. The theme of a body as
structure of regeneration and the
central idea of the flesh as the vehicle
for the soul have their foundations in
various cultures and faiths since
antiquity and make use of universal
symbol and archetype.
