Eat Me - Drink Me
Start date: Thursday, June 18, 2009
Event is ongoing: Until Saturday, August 22, 2009
The Goss-Michael Foundation is pleased to announce Eat Me - Drink Me, a group exhibition featuring new acquisitions of Contemporary British Artists including: Mat Collishaw, Matthew Darbyshire, Ian Dawson, Tracey Emin, James Hopkins, John Isaacs, Rachel Kneebone, Mark Titchner, Christian Ward, and Gary Webb.
This exhibition evokes the fascination in the history of art, and even more in today’s contemporary art of fairy-tales, fables, and folk-laws that can be traced back to Greco-Roman mythology in which they tried to use the supernatural to interpret natural events and to explain the nature of the universe.
Combining painting, sculpture, and video in a 21st century palette the GMF curatorial team introduces ten artists to this fascinating dialogue and attempts to make sense of humanity’s need for myth.
