Death . . . it's Out There
Presented by: Gallery TPW
An exhibition by TPW curator-in-residence Ulysses Castellanos.
The theme of death in popular culture is more in vogue than ever before. Television shows like Six Feet Under, Dead Like Me, CSI and The First 48 enjoy massive popularity. The Zombie, once a character of an obscure horror sub-genre, is now readily used as a contemporary vision of impending doom.
DEATH...IT'S OUT THERE turns to contemporary artists to explore the ways in which our culture looks at this inevitable phenomenon. Video and photography combine to present an omnibus of the chillingly bizarre, the transcendent and the unforgiving landscape of death. Through themes such as violence, loss, popular culture, nihilism, ritual and the afterlife, nine artists touch upon our culture's renewed interest in death.
With DEATH...IT'S OUT THERE curator Ulysses Castellanos proudly proclaims: "I die, therefore I am"
