Indepth Arts News: "The Seven Deadly Sins: A Group Exhibition" 2006-02-18 until 2006-03-25 Latcham Gallery Stouffville, ON, CA Canada
Through their artwork these artists will examine the seven deadly sins within a contemporary context, questioning the existence of today’s moral code.
Although never specifically mentioned in the Bible, the concept of sin - doing wrong against God’s will - is undoubtedly associated with the Christian religion and it is generally accepted that Pope Gregory the Great outlined these seven sins in the sixth century. There are many ways in which this idea of a moral code also exists in secular life and is in fact present in other religions under different frameworks. Today, at a time when reality TV is the norm and celebrities from movie stars to political figures live under the spotlight of the public’s camera, people’s morality is under intense scrutiny and our understanding of what is right and wrong is shifting and blurring.
Expect a thought provoking experience and a new look at an old subject.
The Latcham Gallery gratefully acknowledges the support of the Ontario Arts
Council for this project.
