About Face, a juried and invitational exhibition, examines the age-old tradition of portraits, using a contemporary lens to challenge traditional portraiture with current concepts and perspectives. Dating back nearly 12,000 years to the Neolithic era where portraits took the shape of plastered human skulls, the act of capturing a human likeness has evolved into paintings, sculpture, photographs, film, and video that represent an individual and offer insight into how (and when they lived. This exhibition seeks to celebrate contemporary portraits and explore how the genre continually changes and shifts as artists respond to the present moment.
Juried by Zoë Later, Associate Curator and Director of Public Programs, ICA San Jose, and David Reyes, Head of Exhibition Installation and Design, Huntsville Museum of Art, About Face includes nearly 100 local, national, and international participants. For many of the artists in this exhibition, rendering humans is an opportunity to record, identify, and educate viewers about contemporary shifts in societal values and perceptions.
