UFO Legends Become Reality at Hoboken Arts Show
By: Faetra Petillo
UFO's have come along way from the B-flicks of the 50's to achieve scientific--and now artistic--credibility. The phenomenon of alien contact is explored in "Mythology Is Reality," a multimedia exhibition at Hoboken's Monroe Arts Center from October 10 through November 11.
"Mythology Is Reality" features art in a variety of media that is inspired by contact with extraterrestrial life. Visitors to the exhibit will be treated to the always fascinating, frequently beautiful and sometimes disturbing visions of both professional and amateur artists whose work has been informed by their own first hand experience of UFO's and their otherworldly occupants.AN INTERSTELLAR ROSTER OF ARTISTSFar from being a fringe exhibit, "Mythology Is Reality" features works by accomplished artists (with credits including MoMA). The exhibition also features Hollywood set pieces, amateur (and child) alien abductee memories and related archeological finds. The wide variety of exhibits collectively present a compelling image of the many ways UFO's have impacted the human consciousness.PART OF LARGER EVENT"Mythology Is Reality," runs in conjunction with the 3-day Culture of Contact UFO Festival (at Loews Landmark Theater, Jersey City.) Culture of Contact, now in its second year, is a multimedia event that features top speakers and researchers in the field of Ufology, along with classic and modern movies, live music and more.Monroe Arts Center 720 Monroe St. Hoboken NJ 07030
