Thursday, June 20th from 7 – 9pm enjoy a joint opening reception for Billie Lynn: A House Divided & Visions of Place at the Lowe Art Museum. University of Miami Associate Professor of Sculpture Billie Grace Lynn is known for creating meticulous, thought-provoking projects and interventions that address some of contemporary culture’s most pressing issues head-on. Her latest work is no exception: featuring Lynn’s sculptural interpretation of a 26-foot tall hoodie (the garment stereotypically associated with black male youth in America) and an 18-foot mirrored, kinetic obelisk (modeled on the iconic Washington Monument), this interactive, inter-disciplinary project invites viewers to reflect on identity politics, civic engagement, civil discourse, and democracy’s precarious fragility.

Visions of Place: Complex Geographies in Contemporary Israeli Art. Visions of Place offers a unique lens through which to view and better understand the complexities of Israel. Geography, in all its many manifestations – physical, personal, religious, political, historical, and economic- among others – is an inescapable part of Israeli life, psyche, and art. The exhibition includes approximately fifty works, including photographs, videos, installations, paintings, sculptures, and mixed media, by thirty-four contemporary artists who explore contending views of history and identity, questioning relationships to, and conflicts over, place.

*Admission: $12.50, FREE for members / RSVP here.
