| A series of eight etchings with silver leaf from Julie Hill's A Rake's Progress |
100 NE 11th Street, Miami, 305-607-5527, Dimensonsvariable.net.
A Rake’s Progress, an installation by London-based artist Julie Hill, is the first in Dimension Variable's new downtown home. The exhibition is described as "a contemporary adaptation of William Hogarth’s 18th century satirical work of the same name, retold in light of the recent financial crisis."
As revealed in a statement about the show, "A trail of opened letters spills across the floor indicating their recipient’s sudden departure, hurried in a state of fear or panic. The debris left in his wake tells the story of a man’s demise through the reckless allocation of credit and the savagery of debt. Amongst the ruins shattered ‘plastic’ and scattered ephemera glints madly with the illusion of capital.
"'Rake', short for '‘Rakehell,' is a historic term applied to a man who is habituated to immoral conduct. Often a Rake was someone who wasted his (usually inherited) fortune on gambling, wine, women and song, incurring lavish debts in the process.Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress shows in eight prints the reckless life of Tom Rakewell, the son of a rich merchant, who wastes all his inheritance on luxurious living, whoring, and gambling, and ultimately finishes his life in Bedlam (mental asylum) – a story with particular relevance today in light of the excesses in lending and borrowing by both individuals and institutions."
Hill's etchings, which reference Hogarth’s original medium, contain wider references to popular culture and economic theories and illustrate how "excessive consumption and the obsessive pursuit of wealth is bankrupting us not only financially but emotionally, morally and environmentally."
As an extension of this fact and fiction, show organizers note that a public notice will appear over the course of the exhibition, which opens 7-10 p.m. Sept. 7 and runs through Oct. 20 in the 20,000-square-foot complex that DV now shares with Bas Fisher Invitational, TM Sisters and Turn-based Press. The building, once the site of Capt. Harry's Fishing Supply, is one block east of LegalArt.
