Please join us next Tuesday, August 21st at 6:30 pm for an Artist Talk & Reception
Featured Artist Project
Cynthia Thompson: Within the Veil
The work of Cynthia Thompson explores themes of religion and the human body. Raised in a Catholic tradition, her work references Adam and Eve and St. Theresa, while exploring issues of body image, beauty, desire, vulnerability, imperfection and body-centered guilt.
Using handmade paper pigmented to resemble flesh, flocking the surface with powdered soap, the materials evoke the subject as do the images of hands and bodies.
Suggested admission: $10/ $5 CBA members
Also on view: (un)Contained Vessels
Both exhibitions close September 15, 2007
Support for the Center’s Visual Arts Programs—Exhibitions, Featured Artist Projects, and the Artist-in-Residence Workspace Program—is provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Additional support for the Center’s programs is provided, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
