Water as Metaphor for Identity
Participating Artists: Moataz Nasr, Zwelethu Mthethwa, IngridMwangiRobertHütter, and Berni Searle
Organized by The Tufts University Art Gallery, Medford, MA; co-curators: Pamela Allara, Peter Probst, and Amy Ingrid Schlegel.
The exhibition explores the amorphous quality of water as a metaphor for shifting notions of identity, migration, and memory in projects by four international artists with ties to Africa. Water conceptually speaks to the invisible currents that drive the dissolution of familiar categories of race, nation, and identity, and to the dilution and loss of cultural heritage. The four artistic positions presented comment on this contemporary condition in ways as diverse as the artists' backgrounds and experiences.

Pattern Language: Clothing as Communicator
The many functions of clothing vary culturally, geographically and through history. This exhibition investigates clothing as expression and fulfillment of human needs, here and now—needs of the mind, body and soul. It highlights works in which artists go beyond the everyday utility of clothing, and instead use clothing, fabric and the body to invent new forms of communication and interaction between wearers, between wearers and their clothes, and between the makers of clothing and the fashion system. The artists here have used the format of garments to critique standard notions about clothing, fashion and society. In many of these works, artists use the familiar nature of clothing to help us imagine the impossible. The works in the exhibition are in most instances either unique or editioned pieces. The exhibition includes historical work, contemporary work and new proposals, as well as interactive and wearable editions, some commissioned specifically for this project.
