Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) is excited to announce the Spring 2025 Exhibition, Dazzle of Darkness: The Redemption of the Shadow, opening on January 23, 2025. This exhibition reveals darkness as a force of balance, transformation, and connection. Thirty-one artists explore its mysteries — ecological, cosmic, and spiritual — inviting visitors to embrace its creative, vital power. It is guest curated by Rebecca DiDomenico.
Exhibiting Artists include: Halim Al Karim, Brian Barber, aruma | Sandra De Berduccy, Rebecca DiDomenico, Kim Dickey, Drift,
Jane Hammond, Kristen Hatgi Sink, Ana María Hernando, Kite, Liz Langyher, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Terry Maker, Patrick Marold, Jaydan Moore, Tony Oursler, Roger Reutimann, Clark Richert, Cara Romero, Martha Russo, Mark Sink, Stacey Steers, Swoon, Babak Tafreshi, Toshiko Takaezu, James Tapscott, Nadya Tolokonnikova, Étienne Léopold Trouvelot, Katherine Vetne, Ash Eliza Williams, and Jerry Wingren.
This exhibition showcases artists who have illuminated darkness, each in their own way. Their methods range from storytelling to scientific experimentation to play on form. Whereas forces of light and dark are often simplified and polarized to maintain a limited perception of a dualistic world, these works expose this false dichotomy and challenge the one-dimensional reality we have been conditioned to accept. They offer a gateway into a new consciousness.
Dazzle of Darkness: The Redemption of the Shadow, begins January 23 and continues through May 4. The Opening Reception will be held on January 23, 5-6pm, members preview; 6-8pm, open to the public, Pay From Your Heart Light, snacks and cash bar.
