Haven Gallery presents 'La Lune II', a group exhibition focused on mythologies surrounding the moon as well as its artistic interpretations.
The moon has pervaded history, culture, myth and the natural sciences since the earliest people walked the planet. Multiple meanings interpreted through forms of magic, folklore, empirical theories and conclusions, religious scriptures and more can be found among cultures from all over the world.
Over 40 artists, that will have their works exhibited at the show, were asked to contemplate and create a work of art based off of these empirical, spiritual, fantastical and/or religious views of the moon amidst historical and contemporary society. Interpretations may span past humanity to include the effects of the phases of the moon on the animal kingdom and botany as well. Additionally, inspiration will be derived from ancient times, such as goddesses of Greek Mythology dedicated to the moon to modern day media including comics, movies and music.
The exhibition will be on view until September 29 2019 at Haven Gallery, 155 Main Street, Carriage House Square, Northport, NY 11768.
