Now showing:
Shame/Less
January 9, 2012 – March 2, 2012
Reception: Thursday, January 19, 2011 6–9pm
Curated by AJ Liberto & Kate True
Shame/Less, brings together seven contemporary artists probing the issues of shame and shamelessness in various aspects: gluttony, lust, vanity, weakness. Artists have long had an intimate knowledge of shame. By vocation, they are familiar with economic insecurity, lack of prestige, self-doubt, and isolation. Can the shameless display of private fears, personal failings, and vulnerability have the effect of making a viewer feel shame less? These artists are drawing a wedge between shame and less in an attempt to find out.
