Audacious: Contemporary Artists Speak Out
British artist Damien Hirst famously said, 鈥淎rt survives through its effect
on others.鈥� As a leader in the contemporary art world, he, like his peers,
considers making art a way to convey ideas about culture, human relationships,
the environment, and politics.
The artworks included in Audacious: Contemporary Artists Speak Out
have the potential to invite or even incite conversation about the world around
us. The outlandish presentation of ideas using simplified or crude depictions,
everyday materials, or riffs on cultural conventions helps infuse contemporary
art with provocative, sometimes challenging, content.
This installation will feature the Denver Art Museum鈥檚 collection of
contemporary art and signature loans from local collectors. Audacious
highlights, among others, works by Franz Ackermann, Brian Alfred, Christo,
Tracey Emin, John Fudge, Philip Guston, Damien Hirst, Martin Maloney, Ana
Mendieta, and Shirin Neshat.
