Ellipse Arts Center & Washington Project for the Arts Present
Uncommon Beauty
October 3 - December 13, 2008
Sarah Tanguy, Independent curator critic and ART in Embassies Program Curator
ARTISTS:
Kay Chernush, Mary Coble, Frank Hallam Day, Jason Horowitz, Lucian Perkins and Athena Tacha.
In contrast to the standards of the media and the fashion world, exhibiting artists for Uncommon Beauty will stake out alternative perspectives. While they are important topics, the overall focus of the exhibition is not our society’s obsession with diet fads, obesity, and cosmetic intervention. Instead, the exhibition seeks to investigate the underpinnings of beauty and imperfection; how standards and ideals become formed and perceived; and the dynamics of self-esteem, self-hate and acceptance. The intent is to offer something different, unexpected, positive, or ambivalent; something that problematizes the notion of beauty without merely bashing it.
Artists' Talk and Opening Reception: Thursday, October 2, 5:30 p.m. - 9 p.m.
