DESCRIPTION:CUNY art galleries present a new exhibition spread across three venues, tracing the motif of the chandelier in contemporary art, in all its bedazzling glory Incandescence: The Chandelier in Contemporary Art Works by four dozen artists explore the motif and meaning of the chandelier through sculptural forms, photography, painting, drawing, and installation. This stunning collaborative exhibition is spread across three CUNY venues. The motif of the chandelier serves as a powerful vehicle for contemporary artists to provoke deeper questions about forms and concepts that both beguile and create friction. The fusion of historical associations with contemporary interpretations furthers a dialogue between past and present and exploits tensions between “high” and “low,” particularly through questions of taste. Many of the works included in this exhibition explore juxtapositions of luxury and oppression, consumerism and necessity, elitism and populism. The chandelier is used as a means of critique, while also celebrated as an object of desire, and can represent a metaphorical illumination of the dark corners of history or personal memories, or provide a means of shedding light on forgotten or suppressed narratives.
