MAPSpace, 6 N. Pearl St., Port Chester will present Artist-in-Residence Margaret Pinto: Carapace Pierced, Fri., Dec. 8-Jan. 20. There will be a reception Fri., Dec. 8, 7-9 p.m. Exhibit explores the theme of armored bodies, investigating the relationships between fear, protection, vulnerability, and violence. Visual reference is drawn from medieval armor, riot gear, cages, and fencing, as well as myriad forms of armor in the natural world such as crab shells, thorns, and insect casings. This work simultaneously celebrates and interrogates the outer shell as a potent metaphor for emotional states of separation from our environment. Depictions of nets and veils are interwoven into this content.
