Glad you posted this. I enjoyed the exhibition…..such great variety of work.
Monica – it was nice to see former eye lounge members made up a 1/3 of the show!
[…] The final exhibition was from Mesa Contemporary Art’s Permanent Collection entitled “A Wink & A Nod”. The exhibition was a compliment to “Messin’ with the Masters” as the pieces selected were in some way influenced by artists throughout Art History. This exhibition is a bit special to me because a the tail-end of my internship at MCA, I had the chance to co-curate this exhibition with the Registrar. It was an awesome experience to be able to go through the curating process and it was exciting to see the exhibition set up! Below is a piece called Becoming Annie by local Arizona artist Kristin Bauer whom I had the unexpected pleasure of meeting at Scottsdale Contemporary Art Museum’s Good ‘N Plenty + SPARK event.
