Description:
The Taubman Museum of Art presents a new exhibition entitled "Alter Egos and the Magical Other: John Bankston, Amy Cutler, Jeremiah Johnson, Fred Stonehouse".

The exhibition is available from June 15 - August 31, 2013.

For the last two decades, a number of leading-edge artists have pursued figurative work as a way to explore alter egos - ambiguous imaginary selves that express alternate personalities, drives, fears, and desires. Often placed in surreal or magical narratives, these "others" are rendered in hybrid styles that in part are informed by the figural traditions of folk artists, a strategy that uses the authentic or "real" to heighten the fantastic scenarios.

This exhibition features paintings, works on paper, and sculpture by four contemporary artists from across the country who interpret the notion of projected selves in varying ways.
