NEW YORK---A mix of artists, actors, and film nerds made their way into SoHo Thursday night for the opening of
Foundations of the Deep: Noah and the Flood, an art exhibition organized by director Darren Aronofsky in support of his new film, Noah. For the last several months, most of the press surrounding the biblical epic has been geared toward its religious content––whether it will appease believers or non-believers, whether it will offend or not offend. Nevertheless, appeasing devout Christians and Bible thumpers appeared to be the furthest thing from anyone’s mind at the gallery opening, where a large group turned out to see the diverse collection of work selected by the director, while they dined on fancy appetizers and sipped mixed drinks.
Foundations of the Deep: Noah and the Flood, located at 462 Broadway in SoHo, will be open to the public between March 7-29. [
