Shelly Low: Self Serve
August 8 to September 17
This project arises from the artist’s research on the commodification and manufacture of cultural identity. Using self-portraiture and the paraphernalia of Chinese restaurants (dishes, chop sticks and take-away menus), Low is exploring her own identity which crosses the Eastern/Western cultural boundaries. The display is entitled Self-Serve, and reflects on cultural stereotypes and self-representations, and the relationship between cultural identity and food. This exhibition will be shown at Ace Art in Winnipeg following its presentation in the FOFA Gallery Vitrines.
