MASKS
Serlachius Manor, Mänttä-Vilppula
- 11.5.2024–15.9.2024
MASKS examines the subject of masks from antiquity through 20th century avant-garde to contemporary art.
MASKS explores the meanings of mask wearing as part of human history. Since prehistoric times, humans have felt the need to hide their identity temporarily, or to change it completely.
The cultural-historical meanings of masquerade have varied over time in different parts of the world, but it is still popular today, as one’s own identity is constantly being shaped on digital platforms, for example. The corona virus pandemic, on the other hand, reminded people that masks are also used for protection.
The exhibition has borrowed works not only from art museums but also from cultural history collections, and it is curated by the Italian art historian Lorella Scacco.
