British artist Charlie Billingham presents a site-specific installation within the SCAD Museum of Art lobby, in which he pays homage to the museum’s permanent collection holdings of William Hogarth’s historic engraving series A Rake’s Progress (1735).
Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress consists of eight sequential artworks that tell the story of Tom Rakewell, a reckless individual who after receiving his inheritance, yields to the vices of aristocratic indulgence. From the pub to the brothel to Bedlam, Rakewell finds himself undone by his own prodigal ways.
