"For forty years as a scholar and a collector, I have been pondering the role of the mask in the ritual and art of traditional societies, particularly those of pre and post-Columbian Mesoamerica, as well as the figuration of the mask in the labyrinth of the human psyche. Xipe Projects, its namesake the most elemental of ritual masks, will provide a forum for thinking about the mask in these contexts through exhibitions, lectures and seminars, publications, and other such activities."
