The curation for our last Square Print Sale displayed the diverse ways we create, witness, and respond to the unusual and the unbelievable. A “spectacle” can signify a show, a performance, a public display, or an act of theatre. It suggests something that we willingly observe, with curiosity, wonder, or even contempt. These images have the appeal of something “to look at,” exploring the seductiveness and magnetism of the visual image, with each opening up an opportunity for discussion. The full curation unveiled the vast spectrum of spectacle in our world — from the breathtaking to the bizarre, the public to the personal.
The Spectacle Square Print Sale ran from Monday, April 21 at 9 a.m. ET to Sunday, April 27 at 11:59 p.m.
