Just Look at Yourself!

Just Look at Yourself! brings together self-portraits by 65 artists who responded to a call to artists, and explores and expands upon the concept of self-portraiture. Works in the exhibition represent a range of approaches and media, from the traditional “head shot” to pieces that are less literal and more experimental as self-representations. Are we really what we eat? How are we defined by the roles we play? How many “I” are there? Does a self-portrait have to be recognizable? What is the minimum of information needed to become a unique image of me? These are just some of the questions asked by the artists in Just Look at Yourself!. Several of them will participate in a roundtable discussion on Sunday, September 27 at 2pm. This event is free for members or with gallery admission.

An opening reception for this exhibition, as well as the concurrent exhibition Karen Lewis: Wozzeck -- My Beautiful Obsession will take place on Friday, August 7 from 5-7pm.
