OPENING RECEPTION THIS SUNDAY!
Hair Apparent
May 30 - July 14, 2013 Opening Reception, Sunday, June 2, 4 - 6 pm (free) Performances and Demos, Sunday, June 16, noon to 4 pm (free) 
Clockwise, starting above left: No Me Without You by Emilia Olsen and Sara Winston, Hair Composition # 5

gestation period embroidered on dress)
Hair Apparent explores artists' relationships with hair referencing cultural perception, myth, ritual, and memory. From a piece where a small girl's hand mindlessly twirls hair around a finger to the sounds of childish sing-song; to an eerie photograph where two girls seems to share the same head of lustrous, red hair; to an artfully laid out chart of heads and the products and tools used to create the hair - Hair Apparent is about considering a private asset a public statement.
