"Feral Women/Filmed Portraits"

Opening Reception: Friday, December 9, 6-8 pm Exhibition Dates: December 10-11, 12-6 pm Del Mar revels in her fascination and obsession with Feral Women: a riveting and immersive exhibition of photo portraits, filmed portraits, black velvet paintings and drawings. “Women expressing wildness, sometimes overt, sometimes subtle, is a manifestation of innate power. The high hard femme, the bad girl, the rocker, the biker, the surfer-selkie, are icons of a new feminist pantheon.” The implied mirror or screen, a disrupted transmissive surface for exploring known and newly discovered selves via butch selfie drawings and filmed portraits, challenge accepted norms of representation. Events During Exhibition: Saturday, December 10 6-8pm Tough Girls and Lucid Dreamers live reading / music series features poet and novelist Eileen Myles, poet Pamela Sneed, poet Mel Elberg, Katrina del Mar, and musicians Karyn Kuhl, Genny Slag, Kaki King, and Fiona Silver. December 11 6-8pm Film Screening (various short films TBD) Sunday IMAGE Credits: Katrina del Mar, "Sophie, Iron Maiden," 2016, Oil Pastel on paper 22 x 30 in. Courtesy of the artist.
