Eye to I • Self Portraits by Women Artists February 10, 2007

Opening Reception Saturday, February 10, 6-8pm.
516 ARTS presents Eye to I, a group exhibition of women artists working with self-representation in photography, painting, mixed media and sculpture. They take a fresh look at issues of femininity and identity – exploring images of the self through humor, ritual, masquerade, and diverse narratives from the mundane to the fantastical. The show featured 10 artists from across the nation: Susan Byrnes (Ohio), Juliana Coles (New Mexico), Lalla Essaydi (New York), Alexandria Levin (Pennsylvania), Holly Lynton (New Jersey), Jennifer Nehrbass (New Mexico), Abby Robinson (New York), Adrienne Salinger (New Mexico), Claire Watkins (New York), and Sheilah Wilson (New Mexico). This exhibition is presented in celebration of the Women and Creativity series organized by the National Hispanic Cultural Center. It is curated by Suzanne Sbarge, with a catalog essay by Kathleen Whitney.

Eye to I in the upstairs gallery of 516 ARTS coincides with Mapping Bodies: The Art & Artifice of Science downstairs, a satellite exhibition presented by the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe. This event is free.
