Provocative New Work in Video, Photos, and Dioramas by Peter Pizzi |

| Press Release |
| In the 1956 film, “Tea and Sympathy,” the unconventional hero, ill-at-ease with the other boy’s talk of girls and sports, is deemed a “sissy.” Taking his cue from the innuendo-laced film, Pizzi has mounted a media play land which touches on themes of sexuality and identity with innocence and/or perversion. |
| Via eight video viewing boxes, “Tea and Sympathy” guests will partake of the voyeuristic thrills of a peep show. Pizzi’s show also includes hands-on erotic puzzles; teasing, doll-sized dioramas; and photography of masked nude models, suggesting both exposure and anonymity. Continuing with the theme, Pizzi has set up an installation resembling a bar back room in which one can view his latest short film, “Sucker.” |
| NOTE: This show contains images and works that may not be suitable for all audiences, discretion advised. |
