  1. Persona | Anima Opens Tomorrow: Live Music + Identity Construction Thursday, September 24, 2009

    In a culture increasingly rich in social programming, we wear many hats. Often, it’s in the company of others that we see the best, and the worst, in ourselves. Group think and mob mentality: the difference is a matter of perception. It is from this idea that Persona | Anima, 55Here’s newest exhibition, derives its conceptual underpinnings.

    This exhibition asks viewers to actively participate in the construction, and deconstruction, of persona. We’ve got a trunk of clothes and an ecosystem to help in the process, in addition to works by Mia Bergeron, Ana Marie Cox, Kimara Dawn, Matt Grady, Tara Harris, Thomas Shaw, Michael Woods, and Daniel Wroe.

    55Here will host an opening reception for Persona | Anima on Friday, September 25 from 6 to 8 pm. The event features live music from Dolphin Mouth of local group Forest Magic, and is held in conjunction with the September edition of Last Fridays on Main.
