Once Upon and Now: Factual and poetic responses to history

May 4 – 31, 2010

A visual and interpretive exhibition of art generated parallel or around the Atrship Ensemble production of the original theater piece Tender Stone. Science and natural history often use formant of Interpretive Exhibitions with more text, charts, maps and similar instruments to explore the context of the theme. Art is presumed to be self-explanatory, stand alone experience needing no explanation. Artship Ensemble always creates, with a number of associated artist and documentary material a broadest context for its original productions. The exhibition, also provide a discreet introduction to the mood of the performance. Tender Stone is based on the nurturing wisdom of women storytellers of the Persian and Mogul empires, of the 17th century.
