Station Independent Projects, Toronto, and curcioprojects, NYC, are thrilled to present At Face Value featuring thirteen artists from Canada, United Kingdom, and the United States. Premiering on Friday, July 5th, with a reception from 6 to 8pm at Station Independent Projects and ends Saturday, 27th, 2024. Many of the artists and Robert Curcio, curcioprojects, will attend the reception.

As humans, we inherently enjoy people-watching regardless of whether the situation is chaotic, tranquil, or unsettling, and with the deluge of selfies, everyone is seen. At Face Value goes beyond the surface level of expressions and does not accept a face without thinking it might not be what is right in front of you. The exhibition challenges the traditional notion of portraiture through the unique approaches these artists use, both visually and thematically compelling as the viewer comes closer to the human experience.
