This event has ended.

"The Garden at 4 AM"- a group exhibition curated by Paul Laster and Renée Riccardo- features an international mix of 24 contemporary artists and takes Hieronymus Bosch's 16th Century masterpiece, The Garden of Earthly Delights, as its point of departure to present a selection of art works that reference the garden, nature, animals and enchantment, reverie, good and evil and the nuance of twilight and impending light. These subjects serve as metaphors for where we are and where we are going in these universally troubled times.

The title of the exhibition also references Alberto Giacometti's enigmatic 20th century sculpture, The Palace at 4 a.m. The combination of the two iconic pieces reflects a conscious twisting of fact – which the Surrealists did and as contemporary artists continue to do – to create poetic, playful and referential works of art.

Artists in the exhibition include Louise Bourgeois, U-Ram Choe, Brody Condon, Angelo Filomeno, Osang Gwon, Claudia Hart, Julie Heffernan,Yong-Ho Ji, Min Kim, John Kleckner, Nalini Malani, Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz, Ryan McGinness, Marilyn Minter, Paul Morrison, Marc Quinn, Cristina Lei Rodriguez, Tom Sachs, Shi Jinsong, Sally Smart, Jennifer Steinkamp, Michael Velliquette, James Welling and Wu Jian'an.
