"Parallels and Rupture"
"Parallels and Rupture" at Albright College's Freedman Gallery Curated by Matthew Garrison 90 SC.
Art has always been a continuum of parallels and rupture as artists embrace developments in the technologies, methodologies, attitudes, and concepts unique to the historic moment in which they reside. In the process, perspectives and values are chronicled as artists investigate and question the prevailing aesthetics and tenets of their time. Parallels and Rupture builds upon these ideas by looking at abrupt and concurrent change in the work of individual artists, as well as our current reevaluation of art and history through a multicultural lens. Central to the exhibition is the freedom required of artists to explore, test and, ultimately, shift our understanding of their work, while acknowledging the expansive, nonlinear nature of art today across generations and practices.
Artists include: Turiya Adkins, Paul Andrade, Romare Bearden, Joel Carreiro, Tseng Kwong Chi, Willie Cole, Petah Coyne, Susan Crile, Alex Golden, Sara Jimenez, Catherine Lee, Jennifer Markowitz, Margaret Meehan, Creighton Michael, Marilyn Minter, Anna Parisi, Mahler Ryder, Judith Shea, Danny Simmons, and Jeju Island, the artists collective comprised of Yeon Jin Kim, EunSun Choi and Kyung-Jin Kim
