Uncanny Objects



September 14, 2023 - November 22, 2023
Barbara Mathes Gallery is pleased to announce Uncanny Objects, an exhibition of sculptural works exploring the compelling strangeness captured by Freud’s theory of the uncanny. For Freud, the uncanny is the feeling elicited when the boundaries between familiar and unfamiliar become blurred. Automata, shadows, mirrors, and doubles are frequent emblems of the uncanny, producing an uneasy marriage of the animate and the inanimate, the alive and the dead, the real and the imaginary.
