This exhibition explores an unavoidable reality: life cannot exist without death.
Even stars — from the massive super giant to the cool white dwarf — die. Despite this, in many Western cultures, death is what we don’t talk about, its inevitability the constant hum we try to ignore. Until we can’t.
Though a common subject in past centuries, death is infrequently acknowledged or welcomed as a theme in exhibitions today. Art can examine the comforts and constraints of ritual practices, and it can allow for humor — laughter — making space for a catharsis that is greater than tears. This exhibition intends to reveal the range of possibilities.
Admission is free. For more information, call (412) 456-6666.
