Target Free Sundays
Gallery Tour: Concealed: Selections from the Permanent Collection
Concealed: Selections from the Permanent Collection examines artistic interpretations of disguise, masking and embodiment. Works by Elizabeth Catlett, Cyrus Kabiru and Willie Cole present masks themselves as subject matter, while Romare Bearden's Conjur Woman (1964), Robert Pruitt's Pretty for a Black Girl (2005) and others reference existing African masquerade practices and its influence on African-American identity. The exhibition also explores transitions between self and spirit, or the aspect of masking that entails becoming other, in works such as Dave McKenzie's Self-Portrait Piñata (2002) and Firelei Baez's Fire wood pretending to be fire, February 12, 2013 (2013).
The tour will have something for everyone: adults, families and kids of all ages are welcome!
