Stephen William Schudlich: CIRCUS
Stephen William Schudlich, Director of Exhibitions, will be exhibiting work in Circus, Mar. 28 — May 4 at The Gallery Project in Ann Arbor.
The power of the Circus, both historically and presently, lies in its ability to re-define and challenge our beliefs about the possible: conquering what is dangerous, doing what is thought to be physically impossible, reconstructing what is anatomically “correct”… This exhibition will explore the issues that arise in the context of circus — spectacle, mystery, deception/truth, physical acts of danger and athleticism, sexiness/the grotesque, a fascination with the strange and unusual — and investigate its history, politics and aesthetics, as well as its colors, costumes and performers.
