    Dusk to Dusk: Unsettled, Unraveled, Unreal

    August 20- November 19, 2012
    The Samek Gallery

    These thirty-two works by artists including Louise Bourgeois, Huma Bhabha, Salvador Dali, Yang Shaobin, and Gilbert & George present the world through a darker lens. Unsettling visions of personal isolation, political repression, and collective mania are presented through painting, photography, sculpture, and video and the anxious beauty of the works offers strange comfort in the face of the dark. This phantasmagoria of objects and images departs in the general direction of abject, uncanny, and gothic art, but soon breaks up in diverse directions.
