‘Hair Stories’ at Newport Art Museum
The Newport Art Museum is pleased to announce a new exhibition, "Hair Stories," which will be on view to the public through Oct. 31. Bringing together a diverse group of artists whose work focuses on hair or uses hair as a medium, this show explores the multifaceted meanings of hair today. From hair jewelry and lockets that fetishize hair to photographs, sculptures, and video works that celebrate hair, this show examines the ways in which hair functions as a complex set of codes and as the loaded raw material for artistic expression. Themes include history, narrative, loss and mourning, and identity.
