OPENING MARCH 4 AT THE STEDMAN GALLERY:
Never Never Land
In Disney's famous film adaptation of Peter
Pan, the story of a boy who never grows up, Never Never Land
is the place where such an existence is possible: a fantastic
utopian world where dreams come true. The exhibition Never Never
Land explores the influence on our culture of the Disney corporation
and other sources of commercialized fantasy conveyed through
mass media, that market products along with the ideologies they
represent. The exhibition includes work by twenty-five contemporary
artists, who express widely diverse points of view toward this
pervasive phenomenon: Melissa Marks, Bonnie Collura, Takashi
Murakami, Stephan Pascher, Brian Tolle, Arturo Herrera, and others.
Curated by Omar Lopez-Chahoud, this exhibition is organized and
traveled by the University Galleries at Florida Atlantic University,
Boca Raton. It will be on display through April 27.
