Anthony Sonnenberg: Still Stage, Set Life

Recognized for his skills with ceramics, forming opulent candlesticks, chandeliers and arrangements, Anthony also makes crowns, clothing, mixed media wall pieces, installations, and performances that visualize the decadence characteristic of Baroque and Rococo periods. Such aesthetic superfluities, created with lavish fabrics, metals, ceramics dripping with brilliant glaze, flowers and found objects emphasize the overabundant excesses and ideas of constructed beauty throughout history. This exhibition will include a site-specific installation, including a stage and throne rife with Baroque accoutrements.
