Wellfleet Preservation Hall
Transparency with artists from New England Wax.
May 21 through June 27, 2024. A reception, with many exhibiting artists in attendance, will be held on Saturday, June 1 st from 5-7 pm.
Transparency, featuring works from 27 artists, seeks to investigate the concept of
transparency in all its forms. Wax is a mutable material, capable of changing its form
and adapting to its environment. Utilizing light, texture, form, and color, works in this
exhibition play with the literal qualities of transparency, with pieces that are both
ethereal or illusory and grounded in the physical world. Others explore the metaphorical
dimensions of transparency, examining issues of trust, accountability, and
communication. Through the works of a range of artists working with wax, the exhibition
invites viewers to reflect on the significance of transparency in our society and explore
its relationship to power, communication, and the human experience. Each piece in the
exhibition offers a unique perspective on transparency and its many layers of meaning,
creating a cohesive and thought-provoking narrative.
