SELF
is a forum where artists explore self-portraiture in traditional and non-traditional media, a place where they can look back through art history or into the now and perhaps find new meaning or voice in their struggles for identity.


Portraiture has been created in many forms -- from Albrecht Dürer's self portrait depicting himself as Jesus Christ and Frida Kahlo's compelling self portrait paintings, to more contemporary interpretations of identity and portraiture such as Chuck Close's photorealism, Howardena Pindell's word paintings and videos, Robert Mapplethorpe's photo identities, Cindy Sherman's film stills and staged photo sets, and modern day explorations of identity by Cai Guo-Qiang .

SELF looks beyond the surface of living and mines art and life for new avenues of SELF expression.

Art Outlet and Art Whino are proud to announce their partnership in presenting the 2nd annual FLIK International Movie Festival and FLIK Interactive exhibition to be held at Art Whino Gallery at the new National Harbor, July 25th thru July 27th, 2008.

FLIK is a multi faceted event that features not only the best in contemporary animation, experimental films, as well as multi-disciplinary and interactive new media art, but it also reaches out to the public at large with a call out for socially relevant expression and person storytelling thru its I CINEMA and VOX POPULI  programs, which will continue beyond the festival itself.

FLIK interactive art will explore or reflect on how new and old technology and technique influence how we hook up and how we view the world. Is change or lack thereof good, bad, sublime, dystopic, utopic or irrelevant? How do these tools matter, if at all?

The exhibit and screenings will be held at  Art Whino @  National Harbor, 173 Waterfront Street, National Harbor, MD 20745, July 25th through 27th. Admission will be a suggested donation of $10, which will also get you a free beverage and a bag of popcorn. For directions or the complete program listing, visit www.artoutlet.org , www.artwhino.com or www.flikfestival.com
