Friday, January 12, 2012 – The Catalyst Gallery presents “Entre” an exhibit exploring the duality between gender, body image and perception. The exhibit emphasizes issues presented within the topic of the male and female gaze, specifically exploring the boundaries and limitations placed on men and women through the popular canons of body image and expected canons of sexuality.
“Entre” is a multimedia exhibition in which Linetskaya’s paintings and Luu’s photography engages in a conversation between concepts of the male and female gender and asks what is hidden behind these masks worn by both sexes. The Exhibit highlights the notion that there are no longer any single truths about insecurities associated with body image and sexuality, and emphasizes that sexuality and body image is now a two way road for both the male and the female. “Peeling Away,” a photography installation by Joey Luu mirrors “Untitled,” a painting installation by Lana Linetskaya and presents a myriad of images that creates an environment of confusion in understanding and interpretation by asking the viewer to reflect on biases, cultural, religious, and sexist views that may have been implicated by societal norms.
The exhibition runs January 12, 2012 through January 25, 2012, and features Paintings by Lana Linetskaya, Photography by Joey Luu and a live performance by July Sunnyday.
Opening reception : January 12, 2012 / 6pm – 9pm
