Jung Cleveland will meet at the Cleveland Museum of Art (7:00 - 8:30 pm.) to explore archetypal imagery depicted in painting and sculpture. Archetypes portray recurring patterns of situations, characters, or symbols existing universally and instinctively in the collective unconscious of humanity. They provide a way to connect with universal symbols that evoke deep and sometimes unconscious responses.
We will gather in the entrance lobby and move to the ARTLENS Gallery where we can explore the works that capture the archetypal essence of infancy, childhood, adulthood and old age. After scanning the offerings on the ARTLENS screen, we will visit selected pieces and discuss historical and artistic context as well as our reactions. There will be time to write, reflect and discuss the archetypal layer and its meaning to us personally.
Jung Cleveland board member, Adina Davidson, PhD, Jungian Analyst, will be our primary guide in this exploration.
On Wednesdays the Cleveland Museum of Art is open until 9:00 p.m. Admission is free.
