Throughout the exhibition, major works from the later twentieth century by artists such as Lucas Samaras, Nam June Paik, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres provide a historical framework for more recent works by international artists including Do Ho Suh, Valeska Soares, and Nari Ward. The intimacy of these artworks appeals to the senses—we feel, taste, smell, or hear each of them on a highly personal level—while it also renegotiates the terms of spectatorship and the relationship between contemporary art and everyday life.
This exhibition is organized by Peggy Pierce Elfvin Director Janne Sirén, Deputy Director Joe Lin-Hill, and Chief Curator Cathleen Chaffee.
Admission to this special exhibition is Pay What You Wish on M&T FIRST FRIDAYS @ THE GALLERY.
