Holy Holes "Absolute Stalls"
Dumbo Arts Center
This event has ended.
Holy Holes: Absolute Stalls is a multimedia exhibition exploring different viewpoints on the relationship between religion, power and economics. This show looks at religion from a humorous, poetic and critical perspective, subverting traditional expectations and inviting viewer to interact, transform, or reflect on the relationship between religious rituals and consumerist everyday practices.
Among the more general ideas gathered in this show is how religious rituals and dogmas are used to sustain gender and ethnic differences, and to claim absolute power through propagandistic consumerist strategies. The other end of the spectrum here is how believers react. Whether individually or collectively, more intimately or overtly, and whether we are believers or not, most of us are usually caught in the web of religious imagining, as receptacles of divine inspiration or intervention, or as messengers of absolute power.
