The color pink gets a bad rap. First it was the girliest of all the hues, a symbol of the birth of a baby girl and the color of choice for little girls’ frilly party dresses. And then, as if that wasn’t enough humiliation, frat boys went and adopted it as their favorite shade for popped collars. Of course, being a symbol of the gay rights movement is a pretty prestigious position, but one that obviously still gets no respect from much of the nation. It’s almost as if pink can’t just exist in peace–it always has to mean something. Cue Vicious Pink, the new exhibition on display at Centraltrak, UT Dallas’ artist-in-residence facility located at 800 Exposition Ave. The artists, who were selected by UTD’s art school faculty and curatorial staff from the Dallas Museum of Art, have created works using pink materials that offer thoughtful commentary on the use of pink. The exhibit is on display through January 20, and the gallery is open from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. Admission is free. For more information, visit utdallas.edu/centraltrak.
Wednesdays-Sundays, 12-5 p.m. Starts: Dec. 3. Continues through Jan. 20, 2008
