In Becoming Real or Loved Off
Yellow Peril Gallery is pleased to announce Becoming Real or Loved Off?, a showcase of artists exploring human relationships to “things” curated by Brooke Erin Goldstein and presented by Kiosk PVD. The opening reception is Saturday, December 3, at Yellow Peril from 6PM – 9PM.
Objects, icons, embodiments – We as a culture seem to use these “things” to make us feel whole, complete, alive, happy. In the beloved children’s book The Velveteen Rabbit, it is the boy’s love that makes the stuffed rabbit become real. However, in actuality is it just the other way around? Is there something uniquely human about loving objects or idols? Is the sentimental love we feel for those objects a part of what make us real? Does the story we create around these “items and icons” help us navigate our own emotions?
“In Becoming Real or Loved Off?, the showcase is on artists exploring human relationships to these “things”, notably icons, toys, food, animals, characters and objects,” remarks curator Brooke Erin Goldstein. “Even as these “things” lose their luster and break – or our heroes fail to live up to our expectations and leave us – we still have the lasting impact of our love for them written on the slate of who we are.”
