Reception to follow performance.

Miracles and Glory Abound explores the power of stories through the assembled sculptures of Vanessa German (American, born 1976). The exhibition draws from both the visual and emotional concept of Leutze’s iconic painting. Using her own power-figures to imitate Leutze’s composition, she creates a conversation about public memory and the rewriting of history through the lens of privilege. Miracles and Glory Abound explores the complicated, nuanced history of the United States and how that history relates to our current suffering in the echoes of violence, hate, and materialism.
