21c Museum and Hotel in Louisville Ky is a modern art museum that is on the bleeding edge of the art world. At the time of this writing their walls are adorned with some breathtaking works from a diverse selection of artists. The vibe and atmosphere of the museum screams contemporary, modern, classy. With works on exhibit from artists such as the armed and deadly sculptures from Al Farrow, Kehinde Wiley’s Africanization of European old masters, the engineering feats of Humans Since Clock Clock, Miguel Angel Rojas’s hyper real depictions of Michelangelo's David, Mohau Modisakeng’s dangerous and human self portraits, Fabiano Parsi’s perspective bending photography. The works I’ll cover here in this exhibition review are just a small part of the excellence the 21c Museum has on display. I hope if anything to entice you to check this fantastic facility out for yourself.
Al Farrow: Wrath and Reverence
21c is a very fascinating place. There are two main entrances to the building, one for the restaurant and bar and another that leads to the hotel front desk and the gallery. Although I won’t cover it much here the bar and restaurant are worth visiting as they have immortalized various people in their waitstaff in artworks which hang on the walls. Very interesting interaction between the art and the subjects of these artworks as they are on the wall and physically accessible while you dine or drink. I won't talk much more about that here but be sure to make it a point to experience this unique arrangement. The main focus of this review however, begins at the main entrance to the hotel/gallery where a doorman is waiting to greet you and answer any questions you may have. Front and center through the double doors the gallery unfolds. On open display is ”Wrath and Reverence”, a collection of architectural sculptures by artist Al Farrow. Farrow’s work consists of meticulously crafted religious structures, made from materials such as deconstructed guns, bullets, bone, glass and steel. The structures include highly detailed sculptures of churches, synagogues, mosques and mausoleums all crafted with tools of war.Farrow attempts to link the destruction of cultural heritage to human loss.
