Superheroes is a multi-media, group exhibition about heroes, villains and other less-definable examples of human possibility. It explores the way we absorb these archetypes, and for good or ill, use them to inspire, author and rationalize our behavior. The exhibition features heroic representations of humanity’s light side, dark side and all shades in between. It is informed by pop culture notions of “Super” – both hero and villain – and examines the ways in which the Superhero and Supervillain archetypes are integrated into our culture, informing ideas of morality, civil responsibility and human achievement. The exhibition is curated by 516 ARTS and guest curator Neilie Johnson, and artists are selected by both invitation and this call for submissions. Dates: September 24 or October 1 - December 17, 2011 (working dates for opening). No entry fee.
