20 international artists offer new perspectives on the transgressions of the Magna Carta's ideals, investigating the transformation of constitutional thought. The works explore issues from the protection of personal freedom, individual rights, and unlawful imprisonment, to the Abu Ghraib torture atrocities, Japanese bondage techniques, to the resilience of religious dogmas and the visual codification of legal systems in medieval textile patterns.

Opening reception on Thursday, November 17, from 5:30 to 7:30.
