101 Dresses, a solo exhibition of works by Adriana Carvalho, will take the viewer on her evolutionary voyage through her years as a resident artist at the ArtCenter/South Florida. The exhibition will showcase the process and creative thinking behind her obsession with the iconic metal dress sculptures that appear to have mutated and spawned like humanistic creatures. Carvalho’s work evokes humor, empathy, loss and sexuality.

BY HAND: Jenny Brillhart, Rosemarie Chiarlone, Robin Griffiths, Hugo Moro, Lea Nickless, Evan Robarts, Victoria Skinner and Tom Virgin.

Opening reception: Wednesday, August 15th | 6-10pm

BY HAND initiates a dialogue between the work and its viewers inviting them to touch, read, examine, question and soak up details. Each artist creates with an intense and time consuming method of production that is obvious in the final product, yet the works are held together conceptually by their ability to intimately engage their viewers.
