Bacchae at the Nasher Sculpture Center
January 28 – April 22
Experience The Bacchae, the ancient Greek tale of familial betrayal and divine revenge, through the Los Angeles-based artist’s 12 medium to large scale wall mounted and free standing sculptures. Encompassing a variety of media including assemblage, theatrical staging, and photography, the exhibition explores sculpture’s many possibilities.
For its debut exhibition of the New Year, the Nasher Sculpture Center will host the first touring exhibition of the distinctive "bulletin board" collages and sculptures of Los Angeles-based artist Elliott Hundley. Over the past decade, Hundley has developed a multifaceted, intricate art using paint, photographs, and organic and found materials ranging from bamboo, goat hooves, and pine cones to pins, magnifying lenses, and gold leaf. The mythic world of ancient Greek tragedy becomes vividly contemporary as Hundley reimagines Euripides’s last play, The Bacchae, in twelve works presented in one of the Nasher’s street-level galleries.
