"Cross Currents in Recent Video Installation: Water as a Metaphor for Identity" (Moataz Nasr, Zwelethu Mthethwa, IngridMwangiRobertHütter, and Berni Searle), is available for three month bookings during 2008–2010. Organized by The Tufts University Art Gallery, Medford, MA; co-curators: Pam Allara, Peter Probst, and Amy Ingrid Schlegel. The exhibition explores the amorphous quality of water as a metaphor for shifting notions of identity, migration, and memory in projects by four international artists with ties to Africa. Water conceptually speaks to the invisible currents that drive the dissolution of familiar categories of race, nation, and identity, and to the dilution and loss of cultural heritage. The four artistic positions presented comment on this contemporary condition in ways as diverse as the artists' backgrounds and experiences. A minimum of 4,000 sq. ft. is required; 5,000 sq. ft. is desirable; equipment can be provided. Fee without equipment: $10,000; fee with equipment: $15,000. Venues outside of the U.S. must provide their own equipment. A catalogue will be produced once a minimum of three venues are confirmed. The Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, University of Florida Gainesville is confirmed for June 17 to September 7, 2008. Inquiries: nina.bozicnik@tufts.edu; or (617) 627-3505.
