Dallas artists channel iconic artists in a photo exhibition that explores many social themes.
The process behind Dallas artist Kristin Colaneri ’s latest exhibition,, took place over the last two years, but Colaneri has worked on the idea for the project for nearly twice as long.
She soon began a yearslong project with a single photo of herself, embodying and “pouring herself into” French singer Edith Piaf, one of several “beautiful and tragic” female icons whose stories she'd always wanted to know more about. What resulted from the introspective and collaborative process was a space where the artist collective could “document the truth” behind each female figure and their stories in a way that felt authentic, objective and meaningful for a broader audience.
“It's sort of an amalgam of a lot of things that inspire the conceptual piece,” Colaneri says. “In addition to the women the gallery features, it also goes into politics and it goes into social class, and the weaving is really complex. A lot of it just comes out, again, because most artists, we consider ourselves conduits. And so there's a lot for the viewer to take in.”through two live performances on May 10 and May 11 at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center.
