Museum & Exhibition Studies is proud to announce the opening of "Palimpsest," co-curated by alumnus Leonard Cicero (MUSE '14) with Heather J. Holbus.
Debuting July 10 at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art, "Palimpsest" presents works from self-taught Armenian American artist Betty Zakoian. Betty was a survivor, a woman of strong will and character, a faithfully religious mother and artist. This exhibition explores the many layers of her story, as witnessed in Zakoian’s autobiographical artworks, to understand the story behind the paintings, to discover the truth of a forgotten or covered up history.
