Collar Works is pleased to announce The Veil, a solo exhibition by Julie Casper Roth.
The Veil is a mix of documentary and fictional narrative video that grapples with issues of gender and sexual identity as they relate to Mormonism. The project stems from the artist's interest in centralizing identities that exist on the peripheries of a defined mainstream. In this case, Mormonism provides an institutional mainstream to be rallied against. The Veil also challenges conventions in its form. Neither a fictional narrative nor a documentary, The Veil transcends genre - using elements of fact and fiction - to possess a hybrid cinematic space. Altogether, this project - in form and content - is about ruptures in status quo.
