About Second Skin
The works in this exhibition trace the boundaries of the body and reference garments and adornment in many forms. These literal and symbolic objects of attire allow their ‘wearer’ to explore a myriad of issues including identity and representation; objectification and empowerment; mythology and history; imagined futures and the afterlife.
This exhibition is organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta, curated by Lindsey Sharman and Danielle Siemens and presented by TD Ready Commitment.
