Living Death Exhibition

To live, one must eventually die, and to die, one had to have lived. The Seeing Darkness gallery's current exhibit is the Living Death exhibit. The purpose of the Living Death exhibition is to expose the realities and value of death and in turn, life. Life and death are two contrasting states which humans are on an endless journey to understand, and after touring this exhibit, the curator intends for the audience's understanding of life and death to enhance. The pieces of artwork in this exhibit are all connected by their exploration of death, destruction, and demise. Due to the fascinating subject of life and death, as well as the fact that Gardner's Art Through the Ages textbook offers an abundance of information, the curator picked the pieces he did. The artists showing in this exhibit include Francis Bacon, Otto Dix, Henry Fuseli, Francisco Goya, Andrea Mantegna, Masaccio, Timothy O’Sullivan, Claus Sluter, Martin Schongauer, David Wojnarowicz. Enjoy, and be thankful for death because without it, there would be no life.
