Opening Thursday, October 18th, at 6Pm
On view through Friday, October 19th
Maria Dimanshtein and Gallery 214 at Northern Illinois University present What A Long Night It Has Been — a national group show addressing the theme of the dark times in our lives. 21 artists working in a variety of media, based in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania and New York, talk about broken relationships, loss, fear of death, suffering of the body and the meaning or meaninglessness of life.
Contrary to our wishes or intentions, sometimes we find ourselves in a place of turmoil. Overwhelming and prolonged presence of dark emotions can make us lose a sense of self, become disoriented, disconnected from the rest of the world. While we are within that experience it might be hard to imagine feeling differently. Therefore a time like this can be like a never-ending night.
