Check it out:
‘Explicative Imperative’ is the first phase of the ‘Inertia Displaced’ exhibition on display at the Grayspace Gallery. Anthony Alston has utilized his facial hair in several past projects, including the fabrication of a prosthetic beard for audience members to wear and tresses sewn into cloth to form the outline of Minnesota*. Continuing to focus personal identity and social perceptions, Alston’s current work in Explicative Imperative involves an invitation to pluck his beard with tweezers (“Wrassian Epilatorâ€), a voting system involving prevalent beard-related clichés (“Common Consensus: Partial Profileâ€*), and the opportunity for attendees to visualize themselves with facial hair (“Some Mornings Longer than Othersâ€).
WEDNESDAY November 14th from 5-8pm.
Grayspace is located at 26 cheney street. Yeah!
