Curator and collector Dolph Gotelli, a UC Davis design professor, has brought together a variety of objects from around the world that highlight or focus on the face. All cultures have emphasized the face in varied forms and media. In many folk art pieces, the face is abstract, exaggerated, anthropomorphic, horrific or sacred, and has often been depicted as over-scale, with diminished limbs. Historic and contemporary artists alike have transformed vegetables, suns and moons into humanoid countenances. Both human and animal faces have been depicted on everything from utilitarian objects to great works of art. Gotelli has eschewed the obvious form of the face, the mask, and will present more unusual forms, such as ceramic jugs, porcelain pitchers, papier-mâché, Halloween pumpkins, Easter candy, composition toys, Victorian paper scraps, textiles and wooden sculptures. This will be an exhibition where eye meets eye, face to face. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. Campus parking is free on Sundays.
