Artists’ Walk-Through: Wednesday, November 13, 2013, 7:00 p.m.
On View: October 5 – November 17, 2013.
Correspondences presents a visual dialogue between the work of resident artist Marina Font and alumna Amalia Caputo. Correspondences explores the changing notions of identity and memory, and how these concepts are constantly transformed by one another. The exhibition, an experimental work-in-progress, presents a collection of photographs, objects and videos that construct individual and collective stories, built upon scenes of the artists’ own and appropriated memories. In Correspondences, the artists question the veracity of both, memory and photography, exposing the fragility of these concepts.
