The BYU Museum of Art presents, We Could Be Heroes: The Mythology of Monsters and Heroes in Contemporary Art. Opening reception Friday December 7, 2012, 7:00 p.m. The exhibition curated by the MOA's contemporary curator Jeff Lambson, delves into our fascination with super heroes and monsters in contemporary pop culture; We Could Be Heroes examines the relationship between today's super heroes and the ancient quests of mythological and religious heroes against villainous monsters. An overabundance of super hero movies has been produced around the world of late, from Hollywood to Chinese cinema to Bollywood. Through contemporary artworks, the exhibition will explore the complexity of the myth of the hero, the hero's relationship to the monster, how that monster was created, and why, for many, comic-book mythologies are becoming the new morality of the 21st century. The exhibition runs through April 6, 2013.
Artists include pop art superstars Takashi Murakami and Andy Warhol, Takeshi Murata, Adi Nes, Paul Pfeiffer, Cameron Gainer, Cory Arcangel, Paper Rad, Tristin Lowe, Robert Longo, Roe Ethridge and other national and Utah-based artists. >>>See full press release

|
|
What a stunning evening on September 28th at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art for The Next Supper our thanks again to all who attended and supported this endeavor. It was a night we won't soon forget. Watch the video below...
"The greatest success of the evening were the guests," said Bell. "They completely accepted the invitation to be the artists and performers, shed their inhibitions and just gave over in to the larger moment." see more photos of the happening
Adam Price, UMOCA's Executive Director says this of The Next Supper... "Bell's newest body of work takes the practices of relational aesthetics as its starting point, where the art is created in a collaborative practice between artists and audience, and meaning is discovered through intersubjective discourse. His work aligns itself with some of our most important democratic and participatory ideals. He does this while maintaining his usual keen focus on the nature of celebrity and our roles as consumers in the marketplace."
