Phantasmania August 1, 2007

'Phantasmania' examines a distinct undercurrent in today's artistic consciousness that is a response to today's pervasive climate of war, globalization and rise of mediated information and experience. Displaying a proclivity toward escapism and a return to materiality, the exhibiting artists revert to interior worlds by creating narrative works influenced by fairy tales, dreams, mythologies and personal and collective memories. The exhibition includes the work of more than a dozen emerging artists, and includes drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and video.
