Transfiguration: Engaging with Figure Through Process
Join us Saturday May 31, 4-6 pm
MKAD announces the upcoming group exhibition, Transfiguration: Engaging with Figure Through Process. Curated by MKAD’s Youth Workforce training program, this exhibition is located at The DRAW Gallery at Energy Square, 24 Iwo Jima Ln, Kingston, NY, with an opening reception on Saturday, May 31, from 4-6 pm. This exhibition showcases the work of local artists Tara Foley, Phoebe Rotter and Lindsey Wolkowicz.
“Transfiguration” presents a collection of artwork representing the human figure chosen for their artistic process and audacious representation of the body. These works invite viewers to focus on the techniques, medium, and labor used to bring them to life. Dissecting an artist’s process of capturing and contriving the figure can inspire an audience to contemplate and reframe the functions, substance, and sensation of the human body.
