NOW SHOWING
David T. Hanson had worked with Hudson on this exhibition, which was planned to
show the Anonymous Shiva Linga Paintings from Hudson’s collection in conjunction
with a selection of Hanson’s recent photographs from India and Nepal. The ICON show
was intended to be the beginning of a traveling exhibition of the series of 71 Shiva Linga
paintings. Sadly, Hudson’s death on February 10 made the inclusion of his paintings
impossible. For this exhibition, we created a video of the Anonymous Shiva Linga
Paintings (displayed on a monitor in continuous loop) accompanied by a traditional
Vedic chant of the 1000 names of Shiva. In this way, although unable to exhibit his
original paintings, we have been able to remember Hudson, express our gratitude to
him, and include him in the last exhibition that he worked on.
This exhibition is dedicated to the memory of
Hudson
