"Show #10: Your Face is a Landscape" Exhibition
Field Projects
This event has ended.
The works in this exhibition were selected by guest curators Sara Reisman and Reina Shibata from our second international Open Call. Sixteen artists were selected for Show #10 based on themes that emerged in the process of reviewing more than 400 submissions.
As if under advisement by the Ouija, the curators were moved by several recurring symbols and themes in the pool of submissions that signify or document the human face and its absence, as well as surreal landscapes with unexpected layers of threading, pointillist dotting, and actual water. Between the face and the landscape, there are mirrors, masks, flowers, and the appearance of language-based and paranormal messages. As when seen from an airplane, the landscape with its dunes, crevasses, slopes, and patches of green and brown can be perceived as being part of a larger, figurative whole, or the face of a spirit. In the words of Fleetwood Mac, “…I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills/ ‘Til the landslide brought me down.”
