Vicious Pink
November 29, 2008 - January 20, 2009Curated by Assistant Director of Centraltrak Mary Benedicto, Vicious Pink turns the color on its head. Pretty in pink becomes angst-stricken in pink while La vie en rose rebirths as La vie en polyphonic pose. "From frill to foe hitting the norms of pink in the head." Curated by Mary Benedicto, this exhibition pushes pink from the subversive to the hyperreal. Artists enlist pink materials to the hilt while straddling the line between high art and camp. Vicious Pink hopes to assert that high art and camp can co-exist. The show offers thoughtful commentary on the use of pink through symbolic references, material and design.
