Art Exhibit For Deep Thinkers Begins Friday in Fairfax

FAIRFAX, VA — An eclectic, unusual and thought-provoking art exhibit that, well, focuses on the end of the world, comes to town beginning Friday night.

A reception for the exhibit "Revelation/Revolution," and its artists is set for 7-10 p.m. at Olly Olly, 10417 Main Street, 2nd floor.

It's curated by Dawne Langford, an independent documentary producer and independent curator.

It will run though March 18.

Here's the gist of the art's theme:

"The world's major religions all have similar themes of the world coming to an end, signaled by an unimaginable battle, a period of intense turmoil and chaos, leading eventually to messianic redemption. In addition to the major religions, some groups, movements and uprisings that have eschatology at the core, catalyze these beliefs into an outright revolt.

"End-of-the-world beliefs encompass struggles with mortality, group fates, connectedness and inform utopian/dystopian philosophies."

So there you go.
