On the Edge of Kitsch Exhibition Opening Reception

This exhibition is meant to be a fun, tongue-in-cheek exploration of the kitschy art in our permanent collection, supplemented with pieces from the local shop and gallery Curiouser and Curiouser. The pieces in the collection were not seen as kitsch when they were acquired initially, but as time moves forward, tastes change. When art is removed from its initial time and place, it allows for a wider lens of interpretation. “Time liberates the work of art from moral relevance” (Sontag, 1964).
