Description

Elliott Hundley (born 1975) conceives of his exhibitions as theatrical environments–dense narrative landscapes populated by actors. By interspersing his monumental collages with carefully placed sculptural groupings, Hundley creates immersive environments that restage and animate the classical texts which are his sources. These epic installations collapse historical and narrative time, placing equal emphasis on classical mythology, art history and the socio-political conditions of the current. Published for one in all Hundley’s such a lot significant museum exhibitions to this point, this catalogue is the primary sustained remedy of the artist’s work. Building on Hundley’s previous investigations of Euripides’ tragedy The Bacchae, it examines the artist’s effort to elaborate a very important relationship between classical literary sources and latest society. Essays by Christopher Bedford, poet Anne Carson and art historian Richard Meyer explicate the numerous facets of Hundley’s sources and processes.
