For the month of March and beyond, the Whitney Center for the Arts will feature Lions and Lambs, a group show by guest curator Sara Clement.
Lions and Lambs is a play on how March comes in like a lion but goes out like a lamb, or so the saying goes. Work depicting actual animals is incorporated, especially lions and lambs, but other animal imagery is included as well. Also shown will be landscapes which indicate the weather and seasonal changes. More abstract ideas will also be represented...a wolf in sheep's clothing, sacrificial lambs, death and rebirth, winter to spring, pleasant versus inclement weather, meek versus courageous, violent versus gentle, shy versus extrovert, follower versus leader, etc. It is not necessarily about good vs. evil, or one side being bad and the other side being good...it is more about the shades of grey between extremes. It is about the push-pull of things, things that people typically think of as being opposite, but also all of the subtleties between those opposing forces.
