Nothing Under Heaven by Joseph Liatela
The Montclair State University Galleries presents the exhibition Nothing Under Heaven by Joseph Liatela from September 13 through December 9, 2022. The exhibition is on view at the University Galleries’ newly reconfigured flagship exhibition space, the George Segal Gallery.
The artist’s first solo museum exhibition brings together new commissions and recent works that explore the need for connection, pleasure, and agency within oppressive systems. Exhibited alongside photography by Andy Warhol (1928-1987) and religious art by Carlo Dolci (1616-1686) from the University Galleries’ collection, Liatela invokes a range of stories to assess what it means to move together, remember together, and repair together.
In Nothing Under Heaven, Liatela correlates spaces of communal experience – churches, medical institutions, and clubs – where promises of salvation and healing commingle in proximity to loss and grief. By uniting these different spaces through a range of mediums and interdisciplinary analysis, Liatela reveals how these seemingly disparate environments hold similar contradictions that impact the way we perceive ourselves and each other.
The exhibition is curated by Jesse Bandler Firestone, Curator and Exhibition Coordinator, University Galleries. Learn more about this exhibition.
