A genre with such extensive history like portraiture, proves to be a generous, yet challenging subject matter for an ambitious and playful group show. FACE TIME presents a large-scale selection of artworks so diverse, that it makes us face age-old questions regarding portraits: What's the desired impression that an image like this is attempting to achieve? Is it to depict a person as life-like as possible, or to encapsulate their essence through a more complex visual language? What's the relation in-between the artist, the subject, and the audience? Since the function of portraits is constantly changing, there has been a myriad of answers always fit for a given time’s cultural zeitgeist.
