Capturing Power: Works on Paper from the Permanent Collection
Curated from the museum鈥檚 extensive collection of regional Northwest art, and the Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts archive housed at the museum, this exhibition presents prints and photographs that portray representations of power and power relationships. The influences of power and its impact on our lives have been embedded in the content of artistic exploration since the first artworks were created鈥攄epictions of the hunt, objects of worship, and images of gods all relate to power and control. Established by societal structures that inevitably leave some with less and others with more, power can grant status and take it away. This exhibition asks visitors to consider who is empowered and why, as well as how the artworks in the exhibition convey a sense of power 鈥� be it political, physical, or psychological.
