Indepth Arts News:
"Secret Victorians"
1999-09-22 until 2000-01-02
Armand Hammer Museum of Art
Los Angeles, CA,
USA United States of America
Organized by independent curators Melissa Feldman and Ingrid Schaffner, and circulated by the Hayward Gallery in London, Secret Victorians seeks to
illuminate a Victorian sensibility flourishing within contemporary British and North American art. The works in this exhibition challenge notions of
modernity by suggesting continuities, rather than breaks, with nineteenth-century social and cultural precepts. Several interdependent themes will emerge:
ornament and sexuality; photography and death; collections and colonialism; and science and crime. The show will include works by contemporary artists
Saint Clair Cemin, Helen Chadwick, Jane Hammond, Sally Mann, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Lari Pittman and Kara Walker, among others.
