The Clayman Institute Presents - "Curios": An Exhibition of Art by Connie M. Begg

Artist Connie M. Begg's exhibition Curios brings together a group of unusual art objects for display in the intimate setting of the Clayman Institute. She most frequently works with antiquated photographic technologies (such as the tintype process and pinhole cameras) to produce images that reference her fascination with things from the past. Begg is haunted by the realization that she cannot recall the years of her own early childhood, and her impossible desire to reconnect with her young self founds her uncanny and often uncomfortable photographs of antique dolls, children’s clothing, kids in masks, and artist self-portraits.

The exhibition will be available for view M-F 10am-4pm at The Clayman Institute from May 16th-June 30th. Please join us for an open reception on Friday May 20th from 4:00-6:00pm.
