In many Western cultures, mortality is what we don’t talk about, its inevitability the constant hum we try to ignore. 

But art imitates more than just life; it does not ignore death. Though death is infrequently acknowledged as a theme in exhibitions, it is not uncommon for contemporary artists to explore this subject through their work. Art can celebrate and memorialize. It can serve as a site of social protest or a chance to discard human judgement and observe the biological realities beneath. Art can examine the comforts and constraints of ritual practices, and it can allow for humor—laughter—making space for a catharsis that’s greater than tears. This exhibition intends to reveal this full range.
