Heather Morgan & Ben E. Ward "Whore"
Jack the Pelican Presents
This event has ended.
WORE! is frightening and beautiful.
The paintings of both Heather Morgan and Ben E. Ward are powerful enough on their own. The combination is jolting!
To some it may seem problematic to juxtapose ghastly portraits of dead/dying Civil War soldiers with neurotic/erotic contemporary hipster girls, whose cosmopolitanism and ambivalence seem so very Weimar (that's Berlin at its most Berlin, between the wars). But somehow it works.
