Day On Fire: Apocalypse in Contemporary Art,
Curated by the Art & Design Gallery Committee: Mira Gerard, Joshua Greer and Chase Westfall
August to September; Reception and Lecture by Christopher Mir"The Day on Fire: Apocalypse in Contemporary Art reflect a cross-section of current
preoccupations with devastation, war, end-times, and environmental collapse. The artists
included in this exhibition openly question the meaning of ending by offering a contemporary
perspective on memento mori, consciously acknowledging the relationship of desire
and the death drive without offering definitive answers.” According to Gerard, the
title The Day On Fire “is derived from a passage out of Rimbaud’s first-person masterwork
A Season in Hell during which he takes on the self-mocking guise of a frenzied mystic,
grasping at meaning through a performed poem. Like Rimbaud’s multiple-personality
narrator, The Day on Fire is at times nostalgic, hopeful, devastated, romantic, humorous,
and grandiose.”
