"Overlord"  Curated by Kenny Cole

 

Dystopian in its vision, Overlord, is an exhibit structured in the present, conjuring the possibility of a sci-fi fantasy closer than we would like to admit.  Such a starting point becomes the curators reference and identity; teasing out the undercurrents, the guts, that lie within our global society.

With eyes fixed on the heavens or headily towards the depths of the earth, we find ourselves engaged in the realities and myths of our times.  Expressing a greater empathetic vision seems to be our task; evident in the endurance necessary to navigate our exposed vulnerability through forces beyond our control, whether these forces be political, religious or personal.
