YOU WOULD HAVE LIVED FOREVER
Curated by Becky Smith
July 10th to August 8th, 2008
If Love Could Have Saved You, You Would Have Lived Forever is an exhibition of art and objects that reference the aesthetics, material culture, and traditional gestures surrounding death and remembrance.
[...] Tanyth Berkeley and Todd Chandler will present a video made in memory of their friend Brad Will, an anarchist and documentary filmmaker who was shot and killed during a teacher’s strike in Oaxaca, Mexico in 2006.
Mourning, loss and reconciliation are themes further explored by other artists in this show, with some artists exploring a modern influence on traditional techniques such as joss paper effigies and photos of ornamental twigs and branches used by Uyghur people, Victorian hair wreaths inspired by the old Queen, and elaborate flower wreaths. These artists include: Vanessa Albury, Tammy Rae Carland, Patricia Cronin, Amrita Das, Leela Devi, Rob Hauschild, Paa Joe, Marc Swanson & Joe Mama-Nitzberg, Roy Kortick and Lisa Ross.
