YIN AND YANG

MBAA Member’s Only Exhibit

The “Yin and Yang” exhibit asks artists to explore any stop along the often clashing, contradictory, and/or harmonious spectrum of the Chinese philosophical concept that explores such dichotomies as black-and-white, balance and instability, dark and light, harmony and chaos, and female and male – whatever that means. Yin and Yang, too, is about two seemingly disparate parts of a whole that, once joined, become stronger than when apart. You might decide to experiment just with black-and-white, (or just black or white) or, delve deeper into the Yin/Yang concept of harmony and balance.
