Dotan Appelbaum: Severe Optimism
McEachern Art Center, open Thurs.-Sat. 4 p.m.-8 p.m.
Severe Optimism is an exhibition of new work by artist, maker, and writer Dotan Appelbaum. This body of work reflects on the life and ideas of 19th-century English designer and craftsman William Morris, reconsidering their meaning in today’s world.

As society now undergoes a digital industrial revolution, these concerns remain urgent. Opening reception October 3 at 6 p.m.

Blending horror, humor, and theatrical illusion, the show confronts audiences with tales of madness, revenge, and the grotesque. It’s a thrilling homage to early horror theatre that challenges the line between terror and entertainment.
