The Irony of the Skeletons: Nicolas De Jesus' Amates October 29, 2010

This focused exhibition features nearly 20 works of art by Nicolas De Jesus depicting laughing skeletons that mock humans going about their daily lives -- in the subway, at exhibition openings, in the streets -- as well as several images of the Day of the Dead, celebrated on November 1 and 2 when the living gather around altars and cemeteries, awaiting the visit of deceased friends and family members.
