SOMETHING YOU CAN HAVE AT HOME :: JOHN MURDOCK
September 19 - November 8, 2024
In play children experience maximum intensity. They are surgeons, kings, evil, animals. They make themselves weep. As adults we experience this intensity very rarely: by death, by illness, by financial ruin. What are the figures here playing at? Are the figures mirrors of each other? If the erotic is where adults usually experience generative play, are the figures here necessarily erotic? Who has the right to make an adult wear a dunce cap?
John Murdock attended Sarah Lawrence College where he received a BFA in Liberal Arts in 2015. He has exhibited nationally and lives and works in Tampa, FL.
OPENING RECEPTION :: THURSDAY, JULY 18 @ 6-9PM
1624 E. 7TH AVE., YBOR CITY
