Caryatids: Multimedia Exhibition of Nataša Prosenc Stearns
The opening artist reception will occur on March 21, 2024, 6 pm – 8 pm
Slovenian-born visual artist and filmmaker Nataša Prosenc Stearns will present her latest works, Caryatids, a collection of large prints featuring architectural columns that take the form of standing female figures. The exhibition, which runs from March 21 to June 16 at Mauro Café, 8112 Melrose Avenue, will include digital video art and be followed by a wide-ranging conversation about Myth and Video Art on March 23.
Taking the motifs from ancient Greece and the Acropolis of Athens, Caryatids represent the power and endurance of women. This project brings the idea of caryatids into our time with silhouettes of women layered with elements of contemporary Los Angeles architecture.
The opening artist reception will occur on March 21, 2024, from 6 pm – 8 pm, at Mauro Café, 8112 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA.
Caryatids digital video iterations have been released on the digital platform Sedition, mintable as NFTs.
