Hearsay: Artists Reveal Urban Legends

Hearsay: Artists Reveal Urban Legends

The Hearsay: Artists Reveal Urban Legends exhibition catalog includes 37 artists who created artwork based on an urban legend with special significance to them. Each work is accompanied by the artist s bio and text explaining the artist s personal connection to their chosen urban legend. Urban legends serve as our modern day mythology. Based on cultural traditions and morality tales, these stories prey upon our collective fears and provoke strong, emotional responses. Traditionally, in order for these legends to survive, a mix of text and imagery was used in storytelling, heightening the power of the legend as it passed down through generations. More recently, the Internet has encouraged the rapid dissemination of these modern legends, many of which can be traced back to the original folklore that inspired them. Artists include: Llyn Foulkes, Laurie Lipton, Naida Osline, Victoria Reynolds, Jim Shaw, Jeffrey Vallance, Marnie Weber, Chris Wilder, and Robert Williams. Encompassing a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography and video, in order to capture the essence of each urban legend. Author and urban legends expert Jan Brunvand and art writers Tyler Stallings, Doug Harvey, and Mat Gleason will contribute essays. The catalog will also include essays by both curators as well as full color images of the artwork and short statements from each artist discussing their work in the exhibition."
