THE EXHIBITION AT THE END OF TIME,
AT THE END OF THE WORLD.
DECEMBER 12, 2012 - JANUARY 20, 2013
(assuming there will be a 2013)
HUMBOLDT ARTS COUNCIL
IN THE
MORRIS GRAVES MUSEUM OF ART
EUREKA, CALIFORNIAAs now planned, the exhibition will be open to the public (with some safety considerations) as it is being created "in situ". Work setting things up will begin the second week in December with visitors able to get an idea of the look of things very early on. I would hope this will encourage return visits to see the progress. By December 21, everything will be done. I mean... the exhibition will be completely ready and a special event, more akin to a traditional opening, is planned for that Friday evening, December 21, 2012. More information will be available later.
Three Early Drawings of Possibilities:
The End of History,
Early drawing of a possible look for the dropped ceiling in the Anderson Gallery.
The End of Time,
Early drawing of a possible look for the racetrack in the Thonson Gallery. Visitors will be able to control RC cars that read "TRUTH" and "BEAUTY".
The End of The World,
Early drawing of a possible look for the shag carpet painting in the Rotunda.
Why do a web page at such an early date about an exhibition that is scheduled to occur at the end of the year 2012?
Well, the simplest answer is to allow followers and believers sufficient time to sell their houses, settle their affairs and move here, to Eureka; the recognized "safest" place to be during such events.
But there's also another reason:
I am personally responsible for this whole "Mayan calendar", "end of the world" event, and feel it's my obligation and the honorable thing to go ahead and accept that responsibility and have it associated with my name.
