| Take Me There (Show Me the Way) Haunch of Venison keeps the killer shows coming. Currently showing in New York Take Me There (Show Me the Way), a group exhibition of contemporary sculpture and installation featuring works by seventeen international artists including Nathan Coley, Mat Collishaw, Wim Delvoye, Anton Henning, Alexej Koschkarow, Alicja Kwade, Tia Pulitzer, and Ruth Root. The exhibition's point of departure is the hermetic Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (1499), a beautifully illustrated narrative of a dream within a dream in which the protagonist encounters imaginary works of sculpture and architecture. Artists and writers throughout history have represented the flowering of psychical, spiritual, and artistic transformation as a journey from a state of self-awareness to a higher consciousness - a process of revelation which unfolds in the 'Hypnerotomachia Poliphili' and which is interpreted through works in the exhibition. I love Pack by Jochem Hendricks. It's a bunch of taxidermied dogs. I know it sounds sick, but they look so cool. I also love Hide by Daniel Harsham, Day One by Ian Monroe, and Kiss T2 by Won Ju Lim. Check out pics below of some of the work in the show. Take Me There (Show Me The Way) Haunch Of Venison 11.25.08 - 01.17.09
