Inspired by the infamous ballot and orchestral concert by Igor Stravinsky, this dynamic group curation examines the inescapable dichotomy present in the world of today. The ecstasy of spring, though vivid and full of bliss, is invariably counterbalanced by an equally potent force; that of violent upheaval. In this polarizing exhibition, artists Liz Walsh, Jonathan Ryan, Marco Minaya, Chyrum Lambert, Justin N. Kim, Alyss Estay, Zaki Christensen, Albert Kyu Hyun Choi, and Troy Barrett, earnestly present an existence of growth and decay. 'The Rite of Spring' opens with a reception on Saturday, February 1st, from 6-9 pm at la BEAST gallery in Cypress Park. The show will conclude on March 8th.
