Join Curator Mike Calway-Fagen, and Education Consultant, Josiah Golson, in the Studio with Morgan Mandalay tomorrow from 3:30-5:30. Morgan will be a participating artist in the exhibition Combover, which will run in our 2021 exhibition season. Mike, Josiah, and Morgan will be continuing their conversation about how his works reflect and draw out the themes in Combover: 

Combover brief:

The main point here is, despite your earnestness and best efforts, you’re not fooling anyone. But we’ll play along. The social contract must be upheld, I guess. Is this a moment where we both recognize the awkward mortality that reveals itself in each of our bodies and the frail attempts at defying death? Do these subtle gestures of subterfuge make folks more human, or are they less due to their having augmented reality?
