The Morbid Anatomy Museum presents Opus Hypnagogia: Sacred Spaces of the
Visionary and Vernacular, a new exhibition, curated by Stephen Romano. The show's title is inspired by the hypnagogic state, the transitional world
between the waking and dreaming planes of consciousness - a space where it is believed creativity
flourishes and manifests into existence. The exhibit is a harmonious pairing of contemporary artworks
alongside a vast array of ephemera, vernacular photography, folk sculptures,
and sacred ancient texts is executed immaculately. An innovative
and esoteric testament to the shamanic state and the otherworldly creative
process that enlightens an artist's path from vision to conception. With
astonishing works by such artists as Kris Kuksi, Charles Dellschau , Martin
Wittfooth, William Mortenson, El Gato Chimney, Jel Ena, Caitlin McCormack, and
many, many more - this show is a must see and will leave you walking away
altered and entranced.
