Elliott Hundley: The Bacchae at the NasherNasher Sculpture Center
Dallas, TX
January 28 - April 22, 2012
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.
