I thought I’d share this little gem currently on display in the Anchorage Museum. It’s called “The End of Everything” by Thomas Chung. I’m sorry, the photo-quality is really crap. Just thought the content was worth sharing despite that. Anyway, here is what Chung has to say about it:
“The painting explores why we may, at times, dehumanize others. It reflects our current political times, which are brewing with hatred and conflict. The cowboy character riding the bomb represents the male American ideal, while the cherubs represent the many living forms of bigotry from the past and present. The graffiti on the polar bear comes from posters repeatedly disseminated around the University of Alakas Anchorage’s campus this year by white supremacists as part of a larger campaign.”

Thank you for the share Ilene.
It has the essence of an enlightened clusterfuck. How can one species be so smart and so dumb, so tolerant of intolerance, and so loving of the hateful at the exact same moment?
Wow. That is intense. Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea white supremacy was a problem at the University in Anchorage. That seems so…out of place?
