Re-Materialize at the Arthur Ross Gallery: Through December 20
The exhibition Re-materialize features artists who have built their practices using materials sourced from discarded packaging, personal items, and architectural elements. Works by the Ghanaian-Nigerian artist El Anatsui show the changeability of material culture and the unfixed nature of art. Brooklyn-based sculptor Shari Mendelson creates iridescent stained glass-like vessels from plastic bottles (above left). California-based artist Alison Saar shines a light on Southern Black communities with prints on vintage textile fragments and handkerchiefs (above right). Jackie Milad, a Baltimore-based artist, makes rich collaged canvases that refer to her Egyptian and Honduran heritage. The Arthur Ross Gallery is open by reservation only at this time.
