Exhibition catalogue for Errand Into The Maze, featuring Esperanza CortŽs, Sky Kim, Paula Overbay, and Gilda Pervin at Art House Gallery, July 22 - September 23, 2016.
The original program from the first performance of Martha GrahamÕs Errand into the Maze in 1947 notes, ÒThe action has its core in that errand-journey into the maze of the heart in order to face and do battle with the Creature of Fear. There is the
accomplishment of the errand, the instant of triumph, the emergence from the dark.Ó GrahamÕs dance serves as inspiration and a departure point to consider the work of these four visual artists. For our exhibition, pattern, rhythm, and repetition are engaged as a means to access, express and explore a range of intentions. Just as Martha Graham reimagined Ariadne course the maze and emerge from the dark, the artists assembled here each chart their own path towards discovery
