PREMIERE PARTY
The Wall: Boundaries Between and Within Us
Saturday, October 20, 2018, from 4pm to 6pm
Admission: $10 members / $15 non-members
With the idea of a wall being built along the U.S.-Mexico border occupying much of American political discourse today, the Santa Paula Art Museum’s upcoming, original exhibition, The Wall: Boundaries Between and Within Us, will explore the nature of walls and boundaries – lines that define, surround, protect, divide, include, and exclude whether they are real or imagined, explicit or implicit. The 23 artists selected for the exhibition have each interpreted the subject in a unique way: the walls depicted are physical, historical, social, cultural, political, personal and more. In addition to the walls themselves, the artworks call into question our relationships to them – are we builders or wreckers? inside or outside? confined or liberated? The show will invite you to consider and confront the walls that shape us individually and collectively.
