Juan L. Gomez-Perales: Beyond Formalities
October 23 - November, 1988
"Through the medium of participatory sculpture, Juan Gomez-Perales explores the complex dynamics of interpersonal relationships. The works are thoughtfully detailed, carefully constructed stages which beckon viewers to enter and complete the art by becoming involved with it. As freestanding sculpture the works are elegant in presentation. The true aesthetic, however lies in the viewer's experience of becoming a participant rather than a mere spectator." Ruth M. Gregory, curator
