IDOLWILD presents RED LIGHT, a group exhibition that delves into the realm of pleasure-centric themes of empowerment and erotic symbolism. The exhibition is inspired by the spirit of the ‘Dragon’ of Lunar New Year and the celebration of 'romance, intimacy and new beginnings’ synonymous with Valentine's Day.
Featured artists include Pure Filth Society, Molly Segal, Trevor Coopersmith, Leysa Godfrey, Kuang Chu, Sadie Robison, Naomi White, Mei Xian Qiu, Shreya Chengappa and Margie Schnibbe with a performance by Colton James White on opening night. Also performing by appointment is The Art Dominatrix, Sundays, March 17 and 24, 2024. Red Light will be on view February 17 through March 29, 2024. The opening reception will take place Saturday, February 17 from 5:00 to 9:00 pm.
The thematic foundation of "Red Light" is rooted in the captivating allure of siren songs, serving as a nuanced reference to attractions that are both enticing and potentially cautionary. The exhibition explores dualities, investigating carnal experiences while concurrently embodying the seductive allure that can evoke emotions of unbridled desire and love. Through a curated selection of multidisciplinary artworks, "Red Light" seeks to comprehensively embrace these diverse sentiments, providing viewers with an immersive experience aimed at fostering deeper enlightenment.
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 17 from 5-9PM
