EVERY LINE & EVERY OTHER LINE calls into question the history or portraiture, but also makes evident the political implications of how the face, and the mouth in particular, acts as a contested site. Working in photographic installation, framed prints, and video installation, these artists exemplify a diverse approach to the medium, but also the subject matter: These portraits consider the face as a site of colonization, a document of control, and a space of power. Exhibited together, we can ask what the mouth produces in terms of truth, consequence, renewal, aging, beauty, lies. We hope to see you at the series of artists’ talks programmed in conjunction with this exhibition.
