ARTISTS RECEPTION
December 15, 2001
7-9 P.M. Nelson Fine Arts Center
While the artists included in Not Quite
Myself Today most definitely have a personal presence in their videos,
their work is not synonymous with their true selves or with their chosen role
as artists. Rather, their work reflects an interest in how perceptions about
artists in general are formed - not only by others, but also by the individual
artists themselves. The works in the exhibition address the stereotypes, processes,
development and struggles associated with being an artist in today's media-competitive
world. They explore a variety of lingering questions with respect to artistic
identity:
"Who am I?;" "how do others perceive me?;" "how did I get this way?;" and
"who do I wish I could be?"
