June 30 - August 14, 2016 - Look up here, I’m in heaven, a group exhibition of unconventional portraits featuring paintings, works on paper, and mixed-media work. Genres are cut up and new materials enter the conversation, unraveling the traditional understanding of portraiture as a singular representation of an individual. By countering old narratives which had long framed the representation of persons of color of privilege and exclusion, vulnerability and typecasting the four artists foreground their diverse perspectives and question how identity unfolds.
