Oceanside, CA.- The Oceanside Museum of Art is proud to present “Memento mori: Remember Your Mortality”, on view from October 15th through October 30th. Throughout history artists have used symbols such as skulls, decaying flowers and clocks to reference death and the fleeting nature of earthly life. This juried exhibition explores concepts surrounding mortality, life, renewal, inner darkness, and cultural and historical understandings of death. Organized in conjunction with Art After Dark Death on October 28, this special two-week exhibition is a visual complement to its dark tableaux of programming. Memento Mori is a Latin phrase that translates to “remember your mortality,” and was intended to inspire artists to meditate on their understanding of death and what becomes of us all.
