Overview
Rupture & Connection, Curated by Christopher Y. Lew, The Green Family Foundation, Dallas, TX

Rupture & Connection  brings together an intergenerational group of artists to examine the overlapping concerns of place, emigration, and legacy. With works drawn primarily from the Green Family Collection, the exhibition is inspired by the work of Martinique-born philosopher, poet, and writer Édouard Glissant. Articulating a system of relations that acknowledges the opacity of the individual and the multiplicity of identity, Glissant wrote of an "aesthetics of rupture and connection" uncircumscribed by geopolitical boundaries and filiation. He argues that identity is relational, ever in flux and unfixed.

 

Featured artists: Pacita Abad, Etel Adnan, Alia Ahmad, El Anatsui, Kevin Beasley, Frank Bowling, Mark Bradford, Beauford Delaney, David Diao, Manthia Diawara, Ficre Ghebreyesus, Lauren Halsey, Matthew Angelo Harrison, Simone Leigh, Chris Ofili, Eamon Ore-Giron, Daisy Parris, Kikuo Saito, Ilana Savdie, Alma Thomas, Carlos Villa.
