ROMANCING THE MIRROR
DECEMBER 4, 2020 – JUNE 20, 2021
The group exhibition Romancing the Mirror showcases a new generation of women artists. Although developing in different directions, these artists have in common the masterful, yet playful, use of different techniques employed with freedom and ease, to present an inherently female sense of self and way of looking at the world.
The artists featured, painters Frances Goodman, Jenna Gribbon, Hayv Kahraman, Tschabalala Self, and sculptors Diana Al-Hadid, Karen Lamonte, and Nevine Mahmoud, take themselves, their lives and environments, as narrative subjects, while at the same time challenging classical depictions and definitions of the female in the history of art.
