Environment and Object in Recent African Art

Date: January 27, 2012 - April 22, 2012
Event Description

This exhibition presents work by contemporary artists living in African nations and around the world. Including internationally renowned artists El Anatsui and Yinka Shonibare, among others, the exhibition features works of art motivated by the environment’s impact on contemporary African life and the artists’ recurring aesthetic practice of using found objects and appropriated materials. Organized by the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York. The installation at Middlebury is supported by the Christian A. Johnson Memorial Fund. The exhibition will be augmented by Senegalese artist Viyé Diba, whose installation will be completed on site in mid-February. Free
