On Screen - Global Intimacy January 3, 2010

This exhibition brings together ten artists from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and the United States whose work investigate the transnational reach of globalization. Working primarily in video, they project images that traverse national boundaries, and highlight the confluence of cultures and technologies that mark our time. They call into question facile distinctions between tradition and modernity, resilience and restraint, empowerment and subjugation. Their work plays with time, space, sound, and symbols and examines the conventional definitions of community, placehood, and self-identity.Artists include Tiong Ang, Alex M. Hernandez Duenas, Andrew Dosunmu, Achilleka Komguem, Donna Kukama, Keith + Mendi Obadike, Kambui Olujimi, Hank Willis Thomas, and Fatimah Tuggar.Admission:Free. Suggested donation: $3
