The Veil: Visible and Invisible Spaces
Opening reception: February 3, 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
An exhibition of fifty works of art by contemporary women artists, each of whom considers the Veil, its many manifestations and interpretations and puts veils and veiling into context. Visible and Invisible Spaces will be divided into three categories to be interpreted widely: The Sacred Veil; The Sensuous Veil, and the Sociopolitical Veil. The curator, Jennifer Heath, editor of the companion book, The Veil: Women Writers on its History, Lore, and Politics, invited visual artists-including videographers, filmmakers and new media artists, as well as painters, sculptors, performance and installation artists-from around the world to investigate and re-vision the veil. |
