FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
A MiraCosta Curatorial Collective
The Kruglak Gallery at MiraCosta is honored to present the
"Facial Expressions" exhibition which showcases works from the private collection of the Miller family. From cultures across the globe, depiction of the face seems to be a universal thread throughout arts’ varied themes. The exhibit invites visitors to contemplate the meaning and magnitude of The Face, presenting dolls, masks, textiles, and figurines created by people for people. Valued by both the artists and collectors, these objects often serve as tangible connections to indigenous cultures. This also allows for locals to choose which stories they find appropriate to share with outsiders, and how they would like to be represented This exhibit has been designed, curated, and installed by MiraCosta's Museum Studies students, working with a selection of objects belonging to Professor Lynne Miller's family. These items reflect many cultures' different approaches to depicting the face in art. Facial Expressions will run during Finals Week, from May 22nd to May 25th, with an opening reception on Monday, May 22nd from 12 pm - 2 pm. |
