How have Joseph Campbell’s ideas on the mythic and creative experiences of life impacted Western thinking and specifically, contemporary art? Joseph Campbell: THE ARTIST’S WAY addresses this question through the work of nine contemporary artists, each of whom shares ideas in sympathy with those of Joseph Campbell opening is Friday, April 19, 6 - 9 pm at the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts in Carmel.
“What is it to fully experience life, to be present to the action of living, the moment of being?” is the essential human question Joseph Campbell asks. Artists Sharron Antholt, Rob Barnard, Kristin Casaletto, Laurel Farrin, RobileeFrederick, Peter Hiers, Tom Nakashima, Katherine Sherwood, and Katarina Wong express this desire for the ecstasy of being alive as they share what they have discovered in Joseph Campbell: THE ARTIST’S WAY.
WORKING ART: JOSEPH CAMPBELL AT HIS DESK, an installation which accompanies the art exhibition, includes paintings, personal items and the desk from Campbell’s apartment in New York City where he wrote, studied and lived for over thirty
years.
These two exhibits kick off the six-week events program JOSEPH CAMPBELL: NATURE, MYTH & ART produced by Celadon Arts in collaboration with The Carl Cherry Center for the Arts, The Joseph Campbell Foundation, and the Opus Archives & Research Center.
Joseph Campbell, an American mythologist, writer and lecturer, best known for his work in comparative mythology. He lived on the Monterey Peninsula in the early 1930’s and spent time with Carol and John Steinbeck, Robinson Jeffers and Ed Ricketts. He taught in New York City and returned to lecture at Esalen in 1965; thereafter, he continued to lecture yearly in Big Sur, a place he called "paradise on the Pacific Coast."
