MYTHOGRAPHY

An Exploration of Narrative

Curated by Tim Parsley

Whether gathered around a campfire telling ghost stories, buried into an epic novel, or following the latest adventures of Spider-man, we are fascinated with stories, legends, myths and fables. Stories help locate us, form our personal identities and often operate as larger metaphors for reality. Throughout history, from the stately historic paintings of Jacques-Louis David to the provocative films of Matthew Barney, visual artists have offered a unique contribution to the telling of tales. Manifest Creative Research Gallery enthusiastically invited national and international artists, working in any visual creative medium, to come tell a story.

For this exhibition, a broad definition of narrative art was considered, including (but not limited to) comic art, sequential art, documentary, animation, video/film, illustration, performance, painting, sculpture, photography, and drawing.

Nearly 300 artists from 41 states and 14 countries submitted nearly 700 works for consideration to Mythography. A rigorous eight-person jury and curatorial process resulted in 16 works by 13 artists being selected for inclusion in the exhibit.
