PAST EXHIBITION

Dangerous Women

July 24, 2008—August 29, 2008

DFN Gallery is pleased to present our summer group exhibition, Dangerous Women, inspired by the Rafael Perez series of the same name, featuring paintings, videos and mixed media images by 18 contemporary artists.

Although it sounds like the lurid title of a Jim Thompson crime novel, Dangerous Women is curated within the tradition of female figure painting, photography and cinema - where even the tamest representation of the female form can be a loaded image. While a few of the images exhibited are more obviously “dangerous” or risqué as in Alyssa Monk’s Press, or Heather Morgan’s Hello Kitty, none are passive and most run askew if not counter, to the literal meaning of dangerous women.
