...young daughters: "Typically they last about 15 minutes at one of these exhibitions." One-and-a-half hours later, Stetson's children were still busy turning their own faces into digitized kaleidoscopes on a computer installation. With all its sculpture, video, paintings, death masks and distorting mirrors, "T?te ? T?te" is exhaustively stimulating.
