SUMMARY:Jacob Todd Broussard & Emile Mausner: Fantasy II in Exile
DESCRIPTION:\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FANTASY II IN EXILE:\nWorks by\nEmile Mausner & Jacob Todd Broussard\nWith a knowing nod to the long departed gay nightclub of Lafayette, “a contemporary discoteque for interesting liberated people,” Fantasy II in Exile prospects for hope and heritage where immediacy knows no domain. In myth, in the dreamworld, on high to the perpetual dancefloor—the archetypes of exile are fools and hermits both. Idle gossip of history wonders why all the interesting liberated people seem to be exiles, too.\nPursuing the sacred heart of art’s affirmation, Mausner and Broussard engage painting and sculpture as forms singularly wrought by desire, reverence, and remembrance. Their two lonesome vernaculars share intimacy and enchantment with the reliquary as a place of sentimental remainder. In the realm of the relic, we know we are encountering all that is left of something precious, lost to time and nearly forgotten, but for the love of its keeper. How do we give form to and honor our own sentimental remainders? How do we consecrate art to ourselves?\nEvery robust vision eventually requires respite from the eyes. In the legibly political, public sense, visibility is not fantasy’s concern: fantasy is an esoteric faculty given its edge in exile. Granted half a chance to ascend and inhabit one’s own adamantine tower, from its stylite balcony one may perceive another horizon, hiding in plain sight—not a line, but a field of indescribable violet. Articles of the curtained closet, alchemist’s ballroom, and self-appointed collector’s den hint at a symbolic space where sometimes, one conceals with a playful wink; sometimes the mask is worn for protection; and for artists, hermits, fools alike, sometimes in seclusion one finds sanctuary.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Jacob Todd Broussard, House of Sprucehart, 2020, ink, gouache, poster\nAbout the Artists\nJacob Todd Broussard currently lives and works in Buffalo, New York.
