PANDORA: Metamorphosis of Curiosity at MassArt x SoWa

MassArt x SoWa is pleased to present the gallery’s tenth alumni curatorial project, PANDORA: Metamorphosis of Curiosity, on view October 26 - December 8, 2024.

Curated by Jessica Tawczynski (MFA '17 2D), PANDORA explores the transformative power of curiosity, drawing parallels between the myth of Pandora and the human quest for knowledge. The exhibition showcases eight artists whose works depict the evolution and phases of curiosity (innocence, discovery, caution, reflection, wisdom), emphasizing the role of myth-making in shaping our understanding of the consequences of unchecked exploration. By combining scientific themes with artistic expression, PANDORA highlights the delicate balance between discovery and responsibility, inviting viewers to reflect on the Pandora's Box within themselves.
