Thenceforward, and Forever Free
Aug 22, 2012 - Dec 22, 2012
In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, the Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University presents the exhibition Thenceforward, and Forever Free from August 22-December 22, 2012. The exhibition features seven contemporary artists whose work deals with issues of race, gender, privilege, and identity, and more broadly conveys interpretations of the notion of freedom. Artists in Thenceforward are: Laylah Ali, Willie Birch, Michael Ray Charles, Gary Simmons, Elisabeth Subrin, Mark Wagner, and Kara Walker. The exhibition includes works in diverse media, from Wagner鈥檚 17-foot-tall collage made from 1,121 dollar bills to Simmons鈥檚 site-specific chalk drawing installation to Subrin鈥檚 two-channel, HD video. Paintings by Charles and Birch, drawings by Ali, and prints by Walker are also featured.
