The works in this exhibition explore the Magna Carta's ideals while focusing on contemporary issues: from the protection of personal freedom and individual rights, to unlawful imprisonment; from the Abu Ghraib torture to Japanese bondage techniques.
Curated by Marina Cain and Kit Schulte
Cain Schulte Contemporary Art San Francisco is pleased to announce Magna Carta, a show featuring 20 acclaimed and emerging artists who all work on paper. The works in this exhibition explore the Magna Carta's ideals while focusing on contemporary issues--from the protection of personal freedom and individual rights, to unlawful imprisonment; from the Abu Ghraib torture atrocities and Japanese bondage techniques, to the resilience of religious dogmas and the visual codification of legal systems in medieval textile patterns. The artists involved hail from many countries, including Germany, Japan, Italy, Israel, The Netherlands, and across the United States.
Curated by directors Marina Cain and Kit Schulte, the Magna Carta exhibition will open at the San Francisco gallery on November 17, 2010 and in the Berlin gallery on March 18, 2011.
