A TV hangs on a wall. On the screen, an Asian woman looks skywards with her lips humorously pursed and her hands behind her back. A man behind her has looped his arms under her armpits and they are both acting as if his arms are actually hers. His index fingers are laid together as if he is illustrating some unspoken point.

Description

Join us for a reception at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art as we welcome three new exhibitions: The Emotional ShowLined and Torn: Paper Works from the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art Collection, and Tailings. Remarks will start at 6:15 p.m.

The Emotional Show explores some of the different techniques artists have used to grapple with the amorphous and demanding territory of human emotions. Lined and Torn uses works from the Museum’s permanent collection to survey different methods of looking at paper as an art material. Tailings, an installation created by Jeannie Hua for the Window Gallery, critiques the historic treatment of Chinese American citizens in Tonopah and throughout the American West. 

All three exhibitions will be on view from August 28, 2023 - March 16, 2024. The Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Entry is always free.
