From December 6, 2011 to February 14, 2012 the Interdisciplinary Arts program at Colorado College will feature the exhibition Strange Beauty: Baroque Sensibilities in Contemporary Art. The exhibition presents paintings, sculpture, installation, photography, and performance art by selected Contemporary artists who revisit artistic strategies and cultural concerns of the 17th Century. The exhibition will take place in the IDEA Space, located in the Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center, 825 N. Cascade Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO. On Tuesday, December 6 beginning at 4:30 pm, the public is invited to attend an opening reception and IDEA Cabaret presentation by IDEA Curator Jessica Hunter-Larsen and the Colorado College student co-curators who contributed research to the exhibition. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
Exploring some of these intersections between contemporary and Baroque culture, Strange Beauty features bodies of work by Liza Lou, Kehinde Wiley, and Sherrie Wolf, an installation by Tsehai Johnson (a reformatting of her DAM installation from the summer's blockbuster "Overthrown: Clay without Limits" exhibition) and a selection of pieces by Ken Aptekar, Jimmy Baker, Renee Cox, Andres Serrano, and Cindy Sherman. The exhibition text, written by students in the Colorado College course "The Age of the Baroque: Art and Empire in the 17th Century" will further explore connections between Baroque and contemporary art and experience.
