Feliciano feels his smile slipping as he watches Antonio help cook the pasta sauce.

“I’m happy that you decided to help, but you’re ruining the meal. Tomatoes don’t belong in pasta sauce. Why don’t you let me take over?”

He asks trying to gently push him out of the way.

My solo show is coming to a close tomorrow. I want to share this work with all different bodies, which arose from my love, inspiration, learning from, and the shared labor of the community around me. I hope you can make it out to @commonwealthandcouncil either today, or tomorrow, when there'll be a closing brunch from 1-3, with a performance at 2pm by @elliot_reed_laboratories & @dovelielovelie. The gallery will remain open TIL 6pm. Hope to see you there! 💜💋 #commonwealthandcouncil #hermy #ElliotReed #doveAyinde #corazondelsol #marvinastorga (at Commonwealth and Council)

"The biggest question about truth and lies appear in the best literature [...] The work with which I take part in [Book of Lies] is founded on two different moments of Shakespeare's Tempest. The protagonist (Prospero) lives in an island, separated from the other men, and accomplishes magic events; he has a staff that I visualize in the first part of my page. When Prospero returns back among the other people, he breaks the staff that gave him power, and this act is quoted in the second part of my page. To conquer a relationship with people and with truth we have to give up power."

-Artist Chiara Diamantini in a fax sent from Italy to Eugenia P. Butler, original curator of our current exhibition Book of Lies

Art of the Day

Penelope Lee, Untitled, 1993, hand-embroidered cotton mask

Part of our current traveling exhibition, Book of Lies

Contemporary artist Penelope Lee contributed hand-embroidered cotton masks to  Book of Lies. At the time these works were made, she was living in Tokyo, Japan, and all the people there were wearing these masks because of the pollution. Every day she would memorize one woman’s lips, and then go home and embroider them on one of these masks. She created 80 different embroideries, of 80 different women's lips. 

“Imbricated in the fantasy of the look are perceived desires and values, whether of consumption or resistance, and the unconscious subjection of the docile body as an object of power. A corpus of glistening, luscious and provocative mouths pay lip service to a network of oppressive practices. Just who is giving lip here?”- Zara Stanhope, catalog essay in “Ko itten. A Touch of Scarlet”, 1995
