This new multidisciplinary project at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts explores how our ongoing fascination with superheroes and secret identities helps us express our fantasies and fears.
The Gallery Exhibibition, opening on Friday, November 7, features the work of three contemporary artists who are inspired by the idea of the superhero, plus a number of vintage comic books from the "Golden Age" of superheroes, dating from the 1940s to the 1960s.
Mark Newport knits superhero costumes to his own size.  Hanging empty on the wall, these disembodied costumes comment on traditional notions of masculine identity and our idealization of unattainable powers.  He also photographs himself dressed in costume and prepared for disaster in mundane settings and creates prints and quilts from embroidered and illustrated comic book pages.
 Dulce Pinzon photographs Mexican immigrants in popular U.S. and Mexican superhero costumes as they work at low-wage jobs. She captions each photo with a note about how much each worker sends home to his or her family each week, forcing us to reconsider our ideas of what a superhero really is.
Robbie Cooper has traveled the globe photographing computer gamers who spend hours each day in online world like Second Life and World of Warcraft.  He pairs his phototgraphs with images of these gamers' online avatars, offering provocative insight into the online world of fantasy role-play.

Curated by The Center's Director of Education ad Humanities, Britt Udesen, this Contemporary Graphic Novels exhibition features work by three accomplished practioners of the graphic novel,  Sara Varon, Cyril Pedrosa and Danica Novgorodoff. These artists represent some of this diversity of talent and content with their stories about robots strolling Booklyn, the desolate landscape of the Mexican-American border and the rolling hills of a child's imagination.
From cave paintings and hieroglypics to superhero comics and Japanese manga, when pictures are linked they create a narrative.  The 20th century saw the rise of comics as a popular art form that most often took the form of caped crusaders. The 21st century has seen the graphic novel grow into an influential and pervsive form of expression that explores topics as wide-ranging as love, the perils of war, questions of identitiy and historical narratives.
