Reception to follow performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Miracles and Glory Abound<\/em><\/a>\u00a0explores the power of stories through the assembled sculptures of Vanessa German (American, born 1976). The exhibition draws from both the visual and emotional concept of Leutze\u2019s iconic painting.<\/span>\u00a0Using her own power-figures to imitate Leutze\u2019s composition, she creates a conversation about public memory and the rewriting of history through the lens of privilege.\u00a0Miracles and Glory Abound<\/em>\u00a0explores the complicated, nuanced history of the United States and how that history relates to our current suffering in the echoes of violence, hate, and materialism.<\/p>\n
