Acts
of Contrition was printed to accompany Hannum’s exhibition
“New Rites” at the Richard E. Peeler Art Center at DePauw
University, Greencastle, Indiana in 2010 and features most of the
work in the exhibition. Acts of Contrition focuses on the live event,
combining reproductions of Terence Hannum's drawings and for the first
time in the series, his oil paintings, paired together into a dark
narrative where the live event becomes the locus of myth, ritual and
sacrifice. This locus is communicated by the view of the back of an
audience witnessing a live performance, halos of stage lights, illuminations
through sheets of fog, silhouettes of backlines with bonfires, candles
and masses of hair in mid-headbang. |
