The Nasher Sculpture Center is an art haven that lies tucked behind the numerous imposing skyscrapers of Dallas, Texas.
On Jan. 28, several of Elliott Hundley’s pieces will make the center their home. “The Bacchae” is a new exhibition of 11 works by Hundley that will run until April 22.
The exhibit is based on Euripides’ Greek tragedy, “The Bacchae.” When the people of Thebes refused to acknowledge Dionysus as the son of Zeus, the God got mad.
So mad, in fact, that he made the women of Thebes go insane and run off into the woods. The God then sent the king of Thebes after them. The Theban women heard the king and, inevitably, leapt upon him and tore him apart.
The Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University organized the exhibit.
Hundley’s work has been featured in the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. His work is also on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
