SUMMARY:Behind this Mask: Celebrating Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore
DESCRIPTION:This day-long celebration of the exhibition And I Saw New Heavens and a New Earth: The Partnership\, Art\, and Activism of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore explores the sustained resonance of Cahun and Moore’s personal\, creative\, and activist partnership. The program’s title comes from a line in Cahun’s 1930 surrealist autobiography Aveux non Avenus (“Disavowed Confessions”): “Behind this mask is another mask. I will never be finished removing all these faces.” In this spirit\, join a lineup of artists and writers in celebrating the ways Cahun and Moore used language\, visual art\, and personal expression to explore self-presentation.
