THE VANCOUVER SUN
By Kevin Griffin
CANADA---Most art exhibitions have fairly traditional methods of showing works. In group shows, for example, they’re often displayed alphabetically or by themes. "Without Masks" doesn’t follow any of those rules. Instead, the works in the group show are arranged according to a different system. They’re displayed according to the age of the artist, starting with those who have died and then oldest to youngest. The exhibition’s organization at the
Museum of Anthropology relates directly to how contemporary Afro-Cuban artists have made work inspired by their own religious beliefs. [
