KOLAJ INSTITUTE GALLERY EXHIBITION
Opening Saturday, 12 October 2024, 6-9PM throughout Second Saturday at Kolaj Institute Gallery
How Place & Historical past Inform Id in Collage. In Lure of the Native, Lucy Lippart wrote, “Once we know the place we’re, we’re in a much better place to grasp what different cultural teams are experiencing inside a time and place all of us share.” How will we temporally geolocate ourselves? How does the historical past of that place inform who we’re in that place? How will we convey our personal histories into a spot that has a historical past of its personal? North American trendy life is essentially diasporic in nature. So many people are from someplace else and but, the place we’re and once we are shapes who we’re at any given time limit. How will we reconcile disparate identities and nurture an entire sense of self? Within the exhibition, “Temporal Geolocation,” Paula Mans, T. Owens Union, Candace Caston, and Jeanna Penn draw on historical past and a way of place to make collage artwork that speaks to identification. The exhibition runs 11 October-24 November 2024 at Kolaj Institute. The gallery is open Thursday via Saturday from Midday to 6PM. Learn Extra
