small gods
Desire, Devotion, and the Making of Power
What makes a god? What makes a demon? And what happens when the sacred and the monstrous exchange places?
Opening on Halloween, small gods brings together ten artists exploring desire, mythology, devotion, and the shifting boundaries of power.
Through sculpture, painting, and installation, toys become idols, bodies become offerings, and familiar objects take on supernatural lives.
Perhaps our gods are small because they are made in our own image: fragile, contradictory, playful, and perpetually becoming.
