Artist Discussion: Sherry Wiggins and Karla Dakin

  • Michael Warren Contemporary 760 Santa Fe Drive Denver, CO, 80204 United States (map)

Please join Michael Warren Contemporary for a fascinating discussion with Sherry Wiggins about her exhibit "On Sappho, Helen and Aphrodite". This series is part of Wiggins and Branco’s ongoing “Heroines Project,” where Wiggins selects significant women from biblical, classical, literary, and historic sources such as Eve, Salome, Cleopatra, and the Egyptian goddess Isis. Wiggins does intensive research on these various heroines and subsequently embodies them in her somewhere-in-her-sixties-year-old form in collaborative photographs taken by Branco. Wiggins and Branco’s photographs purposely reinterpret the fictions, the histories, and the misogynist viewpoints that have been imprinted on these women.
