- 7:00 am - 10:00 pm | Tuesday December 24, 2024
- Ace Hotel Palm Springs | Ace Hotel Palm Springs
- 701 E Palm Canyon Dr
In partnership with Ace Hotel Artist in Residence, Superchief Gallery and Friends with Benefits is pleased to co-present HOLY WATER by Erika Weitz – now on view until January 31.
— The Exhibition
In HOLY WATER, artist Erika Weitz explores the psychedelic liquid light shows from the 1960s, which are synonymous with the mystical counterculture spirit and acid culture. Water and oil repel each other on the surface but are contained within a greater whole, celebrating novel expressions of their differences to mimic the ebb and flow of the world around us.
During her residency at the ACE Hotel, Weitz spent significant time at the waterfall in Tahquitz Canyon. The desert serves as a constant reminder that water is not only necessary for life in the sweltering August heat but also a sacred cleansing ritual. During this time, Weitz encountered multiple coiled snakes in the canyons. The symbolic representation of the coiled snake, or ouroboros, embodies the continuous life / death / life cycle, highlighting the regeneration that exists all around us and recalling the continual transformation of shedding the old to become anew.”
