Hair Works
Saturday, October 9th through Saturday, November 6th
Reception: Thursday, November 4th, 7 to 9pm
| 
For its third exhibition, City Center presents Hair Works, featuring the art of Jonathan Geiger and Jane Tuss. Using mixed media, the pair explores the contrasting qualities of hair as an intimate item of attraction and foreign item of aversion.
In the exhibition, the two artists contemplate the capability of wool and hair to both entice and repel a viewer. No matter the source, the material is recognizable and natural, allowing the viewer to connect and relate to it. When divorced from the body, hair is thought of as dirty and crude, repulsing the viewer. Geiger and Tuss bridge the divide to create artwork that marries both associations of the human product.
