Veronica draws together artists from the United States, Germany and The Netherlands whose works involve an examination of their cultural guideposts. Tackling gender, politics, religion and identity issues, the artists freely indulge in the familiar tropes and rituals of ancient myth and magic. The result is a collection of visually compelling works that beguile with formal invention and persuade with thematic wit.
