Vivid Solutions Gallery presents a solo exhibition by artist Carolina Mayorga. A digital installation, this exhibition is the first part of PINK: The Art of Infatuation and Embellishment. This is a three-part multimedia project that comments on ethnicity, gender, and the role that aesthetics and beauty play in popular culture. La Vie en Rose is a video-installation based on reactions to issues of war and violence.
La Vie en Rose runs November 13 – January 8 at Vivid Solutions Gallery (1231 Good Hope Road, SE, Washington DC 20020, 202-631-6291). An artist reception will be held on November 13 from 6 – 8 pm.
