Philo Northrup: Champagne Room


  • Vulpes Bastille 1737 Locust Street Kansas City, MO 64108 United States (map)

Main Gallery

Champagne Room is an installation conjuring a psychedelic tavern on the banks of the River Styx. It’s the last stop, but it’s a party stop. Most of the individual artworks have a Memento Mori theme, reminding us all to contemplate how many summers we have left. Skulls and taxidermy are a common element, but the ultimate message aims to strike a balance between Carpe Diem & Mea Culpa.
