Gallery Project presents Myth of Difference, a multi- media exhibit featuring disabled and non-disabled artists whose art reflects the joys and sorrows of being different. The artists move beyond positive images and tokenism to celebrate the depth and heft of being different. Difference emerges as a multileveled, crystalline experience -- part of a group, all lonely, discriminated against, and aware of the aesthetic opportunities offered through seeing the world with different eyes, moving in it with different bodies, and knowing with a difference. The exhibit opens at noon on Wednesday, January 9 and continues through 4pm on Sunday, February 17. The reception is Friday, January 11. The exhibit is curated by Gallery Project collaborator and Washtenaw Community College professor of photography Lisa Steichmann, with advisor Petra Kuppers, Professor of English, Woman's Studies, and Theatre and Dance at the University of Michigan. Gallery Project is a fine art collaborative. Its mission is to provide a venue for contemporary art that is culturally aware, individualistic, courageous, and thought provoking. Artists representing a diverse range of visual arts curate and participate in its nine annual themed exhibits. Artwork by Lisa Steichmann, Shadow of Tiresias. |
