"About Face: The Portraits Turn"
2000-10-06 until 2000-12-13
Columbus College of Art and Design
Columbus, OH, USA United States of America

Dedicated to artworks that create the effect of a persona (such as portraits and masks), About Face will incorporate assumed identities, representations of personality, states of mind, and alter egos. Works from museums and private collections in a variety of media—including sculpture, photography, relief, painting, and drawing—will be included.

For the first time at a CCAD exhibit opening, guests will be able to participate in interactive activities. Activities will be geared around demonstrating how changes in the face may change an individual's persona. Guests may have a photo of their face scanned into a special computer that will demonstrate how a different nose, a small lift, or other degrees of cosmetic surgery will change their appearance, or have a caricature drawn for them by CCAD student Joseph Brooks. Also, make-up artists from Marshall Field's will be on site to provide instructional tips on how to use various cosmetic products to enhance or alter one's face.
