Fragments of Time

Curator: Camilla Pignatti Morano

Fragments of Time presents the works of artists of different generations who reflect on the nature of a moment captured. Working in photography, video, and film, Marina Abramovic and Ulay, John Coplans, Stefania Galegati, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Pietro Ruffo investigate the vehicle of the body that changes through time. In their works the artists view time as a positive experience where past, present, and future coexist.

Looking Both Ways: Three Artists

Curator: Jyeong-Yeon Kim

Looking Both Ways: Three Artists from Korea introduces artists Kisoo Kwon, Eun-ae Seo, and Seung Ho Yoo to America. With affection and irony, these members of a new generation reinterpret traditional Korean ink painting and the work of famous masters. They extract elements from historical Korean culture, recycling the old by means of visual puns and humor, in drawings, paintings, installation, and animation.

Estranged Objects

Curator: Paula A. Bigboy

Estranged Objects investigates the literal and metaphorical production of history. Allan McCollum fabricates models copied from natural casts of dinosaur footprints and other fossils. Silvia Gruner manipulates actual pre-Columbian artifacts in performances that explore personal and public relationships to the past. Dario Robleto amasses fragments of material culture and refashions them into contemporary artifacts.
