Guise: Recent Prints by Deborah Oropallo

Everything about this exhibit should terrify you:

1. It's digital collage
2. The images were pulled off the internet
3. It's issue art

But "Deborah Oropollo":http://www.deborahoropallo.com/ walks on water so I'm not surprised that she can make something out of that mess. The prints are images from costume lingerie catalogs superimposed on portraits of military officials. IMO they're sexy and grotesque but according to the deYoung blurb she raises "issues about gender, costume, fantasy, potency, power, and hierarchy." Art speak... Just go see it and while you're there check out the "Hiroshi Sugimoto":http://www.thinker.org/deyoung/exhibitions/exhibition.asp?exhibitionkey=658 exhibit which closes a week later. ~
