Identity Construction Art Show


If anyone is interested, I was searching around online and came across this event at the Hamilton Art Gallery, in Hamilton 'I.D'. This is the outline from the website: ' This group show looks at identity construction in art since the 1970s. Examining key work that has directly confronted the issue in visual terms, it considers how art has addressed cultural stereotyping and labelling, in part by re-contextualizing visual clichés and asking viewers to reconsider the line between representation and reality. The exhibition will include works by Suzy Lake, Lori Newdick, Michael Euyung Oh and Stephen Andrews.' The event runs from February 17th- May 13th, and admission is free... I've never been to the Hamilton Art Gallery so I have no idea how this will be, but it sounds very related to some of the things we've been discussing in class. Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out:
