Mirrors and Masks: Reflections and Constructions of the Self
(March 23-June 4, 2017)
As part of a special, two-semester course, a select group of students and curators created an exhibition on the theme of self identity. They looked at the ways artists and their subjects have utitlized masks and mirrors to conceal parts of the self and reveal others. The exhibition design plays on this theme of duality with the use of a multivalent ampersand in the title: when laid sideways it looks like a mask; printed with a reflective foil it functions like a mirror. The 90-page catalog features essays by the curators as well as 34 plates with accompanying essays by the student authors.
