"Masquerade: False Faces" Exhibition
Casa Frela Gallery
This event has ended.
Masquerade: False Faces, is a multimedia exhibition which includes masks
and other art works by artists responding to symbolic and concrete uses of
masks related to carnival, ceremonial, spiritual, and other societal
appearances of "masking". The exhibition will examine the mask as a
wearable work of art, as a means of hiding or changing the identity of
a person, as a protective device, literal and metaphoric meanings of
“masking†in contemporary culture.
Historically, mask-makers have shown great resourcefulness in selecting and combining a wide array of materials. Artists in this exhibition also incorporate familiar and unexpected materials in their works.
Musicians: Tara Thierry, Booker T. Williams, Silvano Ferrin
Poetry/Spoken Word: Gloria, Mia Hernandez, Tara Thierry.
