PIÑATA CLOSING PARTY

Sunday, January 3
4:00 – 6:00 pm, Free admission

The exhibition For the blind man in the dark room looking for the black cat that isn’t there will close on Sunday, January 3, 2010. To mark the end of the exhibition, the Contemporary will hold a Piñata Closing Party. Guests can participate in an interactive art work and take turns swinging at the over-sized piñata which has hung above the Contemporary’s performance space since the opening of For the blind man… The Klein bottle-shaped piñata, designed by Mexican artist Mariana Castillo Deball, holds assorted objects that will fall on the gallery floor when broke open. Throughout the party, there will be festive music as well as free margaritas and wine. The artist will be in attendance of the event. The Piñata Closing Party is free and open to the public.
