The Swan’s Script II opens this Wednesday, 7/15!
Featuring a performance by Melora Creager of Rasputina
Join us this Wednesday from 5-7PM for the opening of The Swan’s Script II, an itinerant exhibition curated by The Sphinx featuring work by Dana Sherwood, Max Razdow, and Rachel Cope. Join us for the opening of this lovely 4 day exhibition featuring a performance by Melora Creager of Rasputina at 6PM.
The exhibition imagines the swan less as an emblem than as a switching device, allowing form to pivot, digress and multiply with devotion — from figuration to abstraction — through an array of narrative and plotless utterances. The symbol of the swan disguising, doubling, and mirroring its own image may be framed as an euphemism of transformation in an otherwise continuous being, as portrayed between Acts II and III of Swan Lake, when the principal dancer changes costume to transfigure from Odette to Odile.
The Swan Script II is on view through Saturday, July 18.
