Event Details

MORE! Embracing Excess exhibition

This exhibition seeks to unravel the layers of complexity and indulgence found in the realm of maximalism, showcasing the beauty that emerges when more is truly more. We aim to challenge traditional norms and push the boundaries of artistic expression by featuring a diverse array of artworks, installations, and designs that embody the extravagance, the lavishness, and the exuberance of maximalism. The exhibition will highlight bold colors, patterns, textures, intricate detail, and overwhelming visual richness. We envision the gallery walls to be clad in bold patterns and color. This exhibition was juried by Anne Evenhaugen, the head librarian for the Smithsonian's American Art and Portrait Gallery Library.
