Freight + Volume is pleased to present an exhibition of work by Jorge K. Cruz and Elizabeth Insogna entitled Divine Myth—Faith and Flesh. This show brings together two artists whose lyrical gestures and attention to allegory present a sensual and spiritual perspective that questions the viewer’s preconceived notions of past portrayal and embodiment. The artists each engage with subversion, which tends to transform traditional representations or beliefs by examining inherited myths, as well as creating space materially and metaphorically. Both artists tether the line between past and present—from what was to what is uniquely contemporaneous. Through deconstruction their work claims that what was a commonly held belief may permutate into a revolutionized beginning.
