“MASK” will be on display at Vicki Myrhen Gallery through Dec 1st. Free entry but appointments (and masks) are required to maintain social distancing. |
Artists in Denver are expressing their feelings about the Earth’s most recent plague using the most contentious icon of the coronavirus: the face mask. In a new installation by the same name, the Vicki Myhren Gallery at the University of Denver has featured the works of 41 artists, whose face coverings run the aesthetic gamut from gorgeous to grotesque, extracting all kinds of emotions about life in the “new normal.” “In their wide spread across the globe, masks have become a ubiquitous symbol of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the gallery website says. “Through this project, we hope to call attention to the significance and signification of masking as an issue of public health and a demonstration of civic responsibility. Equally, MASK calls attention to this newly-important medium’s function as an outward mode of self-expression and opportunity for creativity.”
