Selfish
March 18 - April 9, 2016
SELFISH, a collection of works by guest curator Akeem K. Duncan of Quiet Lunch. It's a multi-medium group exhibition that focuses on the existential significance of self-portraiture and the role it plays in an artist’s creative process. Self-portraiture is sometimes viewed as a casually vainglorious practice⎯the conceptual stroking of the artist’s ego, a pretentious selfie. This couldn’t be any more further from the truth. The self-portrait is a vivid exemplar of imaginative introspection. Selected works featured below.
