Jitish Kallat: Public Notice 3 March 21, 2011

In the first major presentation in an American museum of Jitish Kallat's work, the contemporary Indian artist has designed a site-specific installation that connects two key historical moments--the First World Parliament of Religions held on September 11, 1893, and the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on that very date, 108 years later. The resulting work, 'Public Notice 3,' creates a trenchant commentary on the evolution, or devolution, of religious tolerance across the 20th and 21st centuries.
