SUMMARY:Family Day! | As Any Means Are Necessary
DESCRIPTION:Join the Halsey Institute staff and tour guides for a fun-filled family-friendly celebration of the exhibition Demond Melancon: As Any Means Are Necessary. Enjoy guided tours for your family\, art activities that explore the exhibition\, kid-friendly snacks\, and more! \nThe Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art is proud to announce the first solo museum exhibition of innovative artist Demond Melancon. \nDemond Melancon (b. 1978) works solely with a needle and thread to sew glass beads onto canvas.  He began this practice in 1992 when he first became part of a more than 200-year-old culture known as the Black Masking Culture of New Orleans. Big Chief Demond Melancon is well known for creating massive Suits as a Black Masker. \nHis Suits are sculptural forms based on the size of his body which are composed of intricate\, hand-sewn beadwork revealing a collective visual narrative.  In 2017\, Melancon pioneered an emerging contemporary art practice using the same beading techniques he’s been refining over the past 30 years in the Black Masking Culture. \nAs Any Means Are Necessary will debut a host of new work\, including a completely new type of art object in Melancon’s practice. \nPhoto: A close up view of Demond Melancon’s Bras-Coupé
