Event: Beneath Perfection: The Underside of America’s Mid-Century Belle époque
Dates: 15 Apr 2023 - 19 May 2023
Appliances from the 1950s form the centerpieces of mixed media works that bring the viewer back in time. Curated messages culled from magazines and newspapers about atomic bombs, segregation, women’s reproductive rights, society’s rigid roles for women (cigarette smoker no, sexualized stewardess, yes!) hang from every wall. The overall effect is a disquieting mashup of whimsical nostalgia and sobering truths.
The theatricality of the wall hangings are accented and underscored by a mid-century living room installation. The vintage cabinet television plays a long montage of period commercials, news footage and televised content, pulling visitors in and providing them with the viewing experience of the midcentury housewife. Across the area rug, sits an armchair and side table replete with lipstick-marked wine glass, overflowing ashtray and vintage magazines.

Biography
In the late 1980s, Detroit native Julie Lipa began repurposing elements of vintage TVs into the focal points of her 3D mid-century modern, mixed media works of art. Combining photo transfer collage, resined images of spokesmodels and painted backdrops, she explores provocative subjects such as motherhood, atomic bombs and flying the friendly skies. In Lipa's ambitious solo exhibit Beneath Perfection: The Underside of America’s Mid-Century belle époque, Lipa brings this unique vision of gender, race and science-based fallacies to glorious fruition.
