September 3 – October 26: Mending a Reflection
Mending a Reflection is a solo exhibition of Julie Heffernan’s self-portraits addressing connections between culture, mass media and personal identity through the eyes of one central female figure. Through ten large-scale self-portraits, Heffernan investigates what she calls the “shared collective unconscious,” exploring the historical narratives and subliminal imagery that work to shape who we are and how we perceive the world around us.
Women Defining Themselves: On View through July 27
SOHO 20, the second all-women cooperative art gallery in New York City, was founded in 1973 by Joan Glueckman and Mary Ann Gillies as an expressly feminist organization. From the outset, SOHO 20 was centered on "women defining themselves" and artists were chosen for their "professional excellence without restriction on style, medium, or theme."
This exhibition commemorates the 45th anniversary of SOHO 20 and features a selection of works by the founding artist-members.
About The Center for Art & Social Engagement
The Center for Art and Social Engagement will serve as a venue for investigating social issues through arts-based methods. Anchored by a permanent display of The Sister Chapel, a historic collaborative feminist installation, CASE draws inspiration from the cooperative spirit of the women’s art movement.
