The exhibition invites artists to reflect on the complex interplay of material possessions and their impact on daily life—then and now.
According to the release provided by Lockwood-Matthews, during the Gilded Age, immense prosperity fueled architectural marvels, cultural innovation, and ambitious dreams, while creating vast inequalities. The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion is a product of that era and it serves as a tangible representation of ambition, ingenuity, and opulence.
Trustee Gail Ingis, chair of the LMMM Contemporary Art Exhibition Committee and curator of the show said “The artwork in this exhibition invites artists as well as the viewer to reflect on the complexity and symbolism of wealth and worth and the impact they have on our emotional and material lives.”
