For six days in August 1973, thieves Jan-Erik Olsson and Clark Olofsson held four Stockholm bank employees hostage at gunpoint in a vault. When the victims were released, their reaction shocked the world: they hugged and kissed their captors, declaring their loyalty even as the kidnappers were carted off to jail. Laura Fitzpatrick, Time.com, August 2009 We come to know our captors so well - ideas, incidents, people, places, situations, social structures - that our understanding becomes, well, understanding. Featuring two-dimensional and three-dimensional work of various media and installed to showcase MCAD's Whittier Gallery space, each of the 24 artist in Stockholm Syndrome - current and previous MCAD MFAs - explores the terror of being held hostage and the paradoxical pull we feel for our captors. Join us as we face our demons (and maybe cuddle with them a little).
