About
On the last day of this exhibition, Sunday 12/17, 4-6pm, join curator Mario Naves and the artists included in "Bete Noire" for a discussion about the work in the show and the artists' process and vision.
As a literary allusion, the French term "bête noire"--loosely translated as "bugaboo", "bane" or "pest"--hones in on a quality that is, by turns, vexing and irresistible. The paintings, drawings, photographs and sculptures featured in this exhibition illuminate the conceit by embodying forms, narratives and frames of mind that pique and, perhaps, consternate the eye, haunting it in ways that refuse ready interpretations.
