Myself and a friend attended the opening reception for "A Culture of
Evil" -Art Exhibition at school, that was done by our instructor Sarah
Nitschke(who was there as well) and another artist. It was only us and
then another classmate mate showed up. We took a quick look around first
and then asked Sarah about the work and meaning behind the exhibit. She
went into great detail and really gave a info to think about relate to
the theme of evil in media, society, the rest of world,etc. Even though I
thought I had a good perception of what "evil" is, looking at what was
on display really opened my eyes to the reality that it is bigger and
deeper than I assumed. The media is immerse with the whole concept of
evil, society is filled with slurs that are usually used for malicious
reasons, and in the world, not only in war, but countries feeling with
leaders the killed their innocent in the most inhumane manner. This
exhibit was really thought provoking and I learned a lot from it. It
help that Sarah was there, hearing her views and getting to know her
more as an artist. I did read her artist's statement and got into a
discussion with her about my thoughts, which were similar to hers. I'm
planning to go back again and look more into a book that was related to
the slurs people say in society. I'm interested in seeing the meaning
behind some of them and making sure I'm not saying those kinds of
words/phrases to anyone I meet on a daily basis.
