Experience performance art at the National Portrait Gallery.

NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY IDENTIFY: Wilmer Wilson IV Portrait with Hydrogen Peroxide Strips Saturday, Oct. 10, 4 p.m. |  Great Hall, third floor   Wilmer Wilson IV is recognized internationally for his investigations of race. His process of slowly and meticulously using everyday objects to cover his skin is meant to address the long history of racism in the United States.  IDENTIFY is the National Portrait Gallery's first-ever performance art series, which focuses attention on activism, visibility and experimentation through portrayal. This series pushes the boundaries of portraiture through performance art. Support for the IDENTIFY art series has been provided by an anonymous donor, the Philip and Elizabeth Ryan Fund, the Director's Visionary Fund and other individual contributions.  Wilmer Wilson IV, Model Citizen, 2012 © Wilmer Wilson IV, courtesy CONNERSMITH.    Update your subscriptions, modify your password or email address, or stop subscriptions at any time on your Subscriber Preferences Page.
