- Summary:
- "Searching the Sky for Rain came out of a series of conversations over the past decade with artists, thinkers, and colleagues on questions around representation and abstraction, identity and identification, inclusion and exclusion, visibility and non-visibility. The language used to discuss the exhibition deliberately rejected the terminology usually used by institutions to address social positions and particularities. The exhibition brings together works by artists who disregard the ways in which the art industry regulates, classifies, compartmentalizes, and essentializes difference into sanctioned categories. This multicultural "appropriation/misappropriation" is, according to Gloria Anzaldúa, "an attempt to control difference by allocating it to bordered-off sections in the curriculum."1 The artists in Searching the Sky for Rain defy the fracking of particularities into niche-marketed, T-shirt formulations of "identities" for institutional meaning and value production..."-- provided by distributor.
