Dmitri Obergfell: Go Home Bacchus
June 23, 2016 – August 14, 2018
@ InsideOut

The inaugural BMoCA InsideOut, a sculpture by Dmitri Obergfell titled Go Home Bacchus (2016), marked the first new work of art on the site in more than a decade. For his project, Obergfell created a 12-foot tall statue of the Greco-Roman god Bacchus, turned on its head and smattered it with paint. The work reflects on the complexities and histories of two forms of public communication, monuments and vandalism, and demonstrates how they have come together to establish a reflexive public discourse and aesthetic.

Dmitri Obergfell: Go Home Bacchus is a commission by Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art in partnership with Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design.
