CONFABULATIONS of MILLENNIA brings together the works of nineteen contemporary artists who take direct inspiration from established styles, techniques and objects perfected in the 18th and 19th centuries. The assembled artists deploy history as a springboard in order to speak to the intricacies and inconsistencies of modern life be they social, political or aesthetic. Funny, sexy and disturbing, this work creates an intersection that is both familiar and alien. - Richard Saja, Guest Curator
