Indifference and Apocrypha

In Fuel Gallery, an exhibition called "Indifference and Apocrypha" opened. It, as is described, shows constant reminders of death. Yet it is portrayed as a loss of innocence. Most of the works have subject maters reminiscent of childhood, yet with a very disturbing factor, not always clearly related to death, but certainly disturbing, harsh. It ranges from Adela Leibowitz’s presentation of blue images of little girls, and peaceful subjects, to Angelou Guingon presenting a man standing in front of a house, well over-armed with canons, and cows in front of the canons. There is no question that there is significance to the pieces, yet the true expression was more affected by the massive crowd of first friday, and performers, as well as protesters of "free drugs" dressed entirely in white, and people with masks, and signs of free hugs in the entrance... the art was not as clear as one would think the artist meant it to be seen.
