Exhibition Statement as Preserved in the SUGS/SITE Archives:
Two-Headed Turtle, Cecilia Beaven’s (MFA 2019) first solo show in Chicago, curated by Gianella Ysasi (MFA 2019), presents the ludic development of Beaven’s personal mythology through painting, animation and film. Beaven creates an extended painting by transforming the two dimensional and pictoral into the cinematic and the sceneographic. In Two-Headed Turtle, Beaven’s ethnographic and mythological searches are assembled into a monstrous, fragile and introspective setting.
