GROUP SHOW
NEW ENGLAND TRIENNIAL 2022
April 8 – September 11, 2022
Prioritizing change over stability, many of the artists’
practices involve processes of unmaking and remaking—patching
things together, dissecting, and rebuilding forms using
discarded parts. Their collective artistry reveals interconnected
tendencies: a focus on kinship and ancestral lineages; a
search for one’s place in the world; the visualization of
data; themes of ruin and decay, and processes of alchemical
transmutation. Artists in this exhibition grapple with difficult
and unjust moments of history and contemporary life. Some employ
generations-old creative traditions in poetic, passionate, and
informed ways. Altogether, their work unearths hidden energies
and stories surfacing at a time defined by change and resilience.
