Charlotte Kruk

Reception: May 18: 2:00-4:00 PM
Curated by Rose Sellery, UnDressed explores the realm of apparel beyond the conventional limitations of fabric, needle and thread. Expect the unexpected in this exhibit of curious, intriguing, narrative garments and accessories that utilize traditional methods, as well as experimentation with unusual materials, tools and techniques to create surprising, witty and thought provoking conceptual pieces and installations. Rose is joined by forty artists, who share this exploration at two venues.
This exhibition will be held simultaneously in two galleries, at PVAC and the Santa Cruz Institute of Contemporary Art (SCICA). The reception at SCICA will be on Friday, May 16 from 6:00-8:00 PM, located at 1050 River Street #127 at the Tannery Arts Center, Santa Cruz.
