After by Appointment
Veiled in Flesh, an exhibition and performance piece by local
artist Julia Barbosa Landois, opens Friday, June 6th, with a
reception from 6-9 pm at Cactus Bra Space. The performance will
commence at 6:30 pm and continue throughout the reception.
Veiled in Flesh
takes place within an installation that includes artist-crafted
objects, photographs, and video stills. The artist will be on view
in a plexiglass vitrine and available for subtle audience
interaction. The exhibition references Catholic aesthetics of body
display while examining the role of ritual in the face of
acculturation, all with a feminist subtext. The performance
component of Veiled in Flesh debuted last year in
Philadelphia at Ice Box Project Space. This is the first showing in
San Antonio.
Julia Barbosa Landois, 29,
lives and teaches in her native city of San Antonio. Her
performances, videos, and works on paper have been shown throughout
the United States as well as in Mexico and Portugal.
