Faces of Celebration: Embracing individuality within Community

Through the mediums of sculptural mask work and photography, Provincetown artist Mike Sullivan displays an immersive exploration of individual expression and collective identity. With handcrafted masks created with materials ranging from wasp nests to stained glass, the Faces of Celebration art installation and artist talk will offer a glimpse into how masks of various types can symbolize contemporary and traditional methods of communication, for individual and collective purposes. In addition to the sculptural display, photographs and interactive pieces will be exhibited to highlight the transformative and reflective qualities that mask work instills, offering a multi dimensional experience. Through participation as a viewer, or engaging in the interactive elements, visitors can contribute their individuality to the tapestry of our vibrant community.

"Ornate and decadent, yet composed of elements from the natural world like peacock feathers, flowers, and branches as much as jewels, shards of broken mirror, and found objects, Mike Sullivan's masks, crowns, and headpieces evoke dichotomies, clashes of materials, ideas, and ideals. And yet the dramas within them ultimately feel balanced." –Rebecca Alvin, Provincetown Magazine

Join us at the Hawthorne Barn for a social practice workshop about the future of our natural world. This event is part 3 of 3 of Ecosystems & Imagination, an artist’s interactive approach to future/present visions of the sea coast in the face of sea level rise, and the vulnerability of public space. 

What are the ecosystems near the water, both human and nature based? What is public space at the coast for? How will we live here in the future? What will allow this way of life to continue equitably? Markets and festivals, promenades, concerts, waterfront recreation (beachcombing, fishing, launching boats, relaxing, walking dogs, weather watching, science) The cycle of days: sunrises, sunsets, views, markers, identity.
