BAZT
July 24th – July 28th
Opening Reception July 24th 6-10pm
BAZT is a group showing of object-based pieces and works on paper within a constructed environment for community events. The individual works explore humor and mystery. The entirety of the constructed environment engenders how both humor and mystery can be a source of power and strength–using humor for self-protection or mystery as blockade.
The title Bazt is a reference to bombast, bastion, bastard, Bast–the goddess of protection and perfume in Egyptian mythology, and someone with a stereotypical accent from the San Fernando Valley saying the word “Best.”
