Featuring 30 artists from 15 different countries, Theorum: You Simply Destroy the Image I Always Had of Myself opens today, Sunday, May 3, at Mana Contemporary‘s 50,000 square foot Glass Gallery. Curated by Ocravio Zaya, it presents an eclectic range of rich artworks in various media from painting and photography to large-scale installations. Visually engaging and psychologically charged, the works on exhibit question and challenge our perceptions of ourselves and appearances, in general, while “contemplating a world turned upside-down.” Here are a few more images:
NYC-based Susan Siegel, one of many images from an elegantly dreamy installation of her paintings
Lima native Santiago Roose, (Bridge) Between the particular contradiction and general antagonism
Cuba native Marìa Magdalena Campos-Pons, My Mother Told Me I Am Chinese
Lima native Elena Damiani, The Discovery
Lima native Nicole Franchy, Hinter Scapes
Puerto Rican artist Radames “Juni” Figuearoa, La Casita Amarilla

Along with several other thoroughly engaging exhibits, Theorem: You Simply Destroy the Image I Always Had of Myself — featuring many artists whose works also surface in the public sphere — opens to the public today, Sunday, May 3, at Mana Contemporary, 888 Newark Avenue in Jersey City.
