• Continuing Sapar Contemporary’s commitment to international artistic voices, the gallery is excited to announce the opening of its first group show, Hiding in Plain Sight. The exhibition, curated by Dallas Contemporary Director of Exhibitions/Senior Curator Justine Ludwig, draws inspiration from the technique of camouflage, used by animals to escape perception. In nature, detailed markings enable animals to appear as either predators or alternatively blend into their surroundings. This technique has been adapted to military contexts and is synonymous with martial fashions. Camouflage has become a loaded symbol. In the exhibition Hiding in Plain Sight, five artists use the technique of camouflage to obscure a message. They co-opt diverse languages in order to share subversive information. Content is hidden in the banal, exploring how deeper investment can lead to greater understanding. Featuring the work of five international artists who each take a different approach to this subject matter—Carlos Amorales (Mexico), Faiza Butt (Pakistan), Parastou Forouhar (Iran), Tsang Kin-Wah (Hong Kong), and K. Yoland (UK), Hiding in Plain Sight asks the view to take a second look at their quotidian surroundings
