Art, Media and Material Witness explores the relationships between artists and the historical, political and social challenges of their time. The exhibition proposes the artist as a material witness, defined as “a witness whose testimony is both relevant to the matter at issue and required in order to resolve the matter.” Questions that emerge include: What are the forms of artistic testimony? What is the significance of art in society’s discourse? Is art essential? What can art resolve? Can art change the way we think of or imagine our world?
Twenty five artists from Africa, Latin America and the United States engage with these important issues through a variety of media. The exhibition features several new acquisitions and important loans. Each featured work gives compelling testimony about the issues and conditions of its unique time and place in the world. Some challenge political circumstances through irony and humor and question the potential of utopian aspirations. Others explore the tension between nature and humanity and unsettle concepts of the “natural.” Lastly, the works question and reflect on historical representations of culture and identity.
