When in Paris you should not miss the exhibitions, auction previews, champagne opening private invitations etc… A complete list of events and images + Insiders tips: ...
An African mask is only a fragment of the art canvas. Masks are dramatic, musical costume events of which the headgear plays only a part.
The way we are used to seeing masks, as a lone sculptural statement, mounted on a stake or plastered against a wall, is an incomplete performance.
The Dallas Museum of Art is rectifying that indignity with an exhibition of masks paired with their full body costumes, often accompanied with photographs and videos of the dancing masquerade.
There is so much more to masks than face covering, and learning that they rarely covered the face is only the beginning of the education that is offered in “African Masks: The Art of Disguise,” which opens Sunday August30, 2010.
We like disguises. That is probably why we like to celebrate Halloween costumes during every month with 31 days (much to the chagrin of our neighbors). This exhibition sounds like it will be right up our alley. About 50 objects from the museum’s collection and local collectors will be on display, and observers will be able to see masks of many different styles and purposes. Full masquerade costumes will also be displayed, so viewers can get the full effect of the ensembles
