Heide Hatry: SKIN at Goethe-Institut New York

SKIN
Curated by the artist, Heide Hatry

Opening: March 8, 6:00 – 8:00pm
Exhibition: March 9 – April 1
Goethe-Institut New York

Heide Hatry’s exhibition and book display how
the choice of skin as an art medium invokes an
utterly different aesthetic, as it demands to create,
or at least to alter, human form. Hatry’s work
explores questions of identity and how they relate
to the functions and perceptions of skin.

PANEL: March 12, 5:00pm
Goethe-Institut, New York
