Art often emerges from, and contributes to, the movement of people, objects, and ideas across time and space and into the unfamiliar or unknown. These migratory acts generate dynamic and often chaotic arenas for the production of images and objects.
Stone’s Throw is a group exhibition of contemporary art that explores this movement in relation to the multivalent dynamics of borders as physical, geographical, political, corporeal, spiritual, cultural, and meta-physical boundaries. Featuring the work of Carlos Rolón, Candice Breitz, K. Yoland, Jaime Carrejo, Paul Valadez, Joshua Edwards, Skye Gilkerson, Ana Hušman, Yari Ostovany, and Lala Raščić. The exhibition explores border culture, the process of border-making, the transgression of borders and boundaries and how that impacts the formation of identities and the personal, spiritual, national, transnational, and gendered ideas of the self. |
