Multiplicity: Blackness in Contemporary American Collage is now open in our Ingram Gallery. The first major museum exhibition devoted to the subject, Multiplicity presents over 80 major collage and collage-informed works by 52 living artists that reflect the breadth and complexity of Black identity.
Listen to the artists explain how they use collage to tell their stories.
Raqib Shaw:Ballads of East and West features a selection of intricate paintings portraying mysterious, dreamlike realms and bizarre hybrid creatures.
The Kashmiri artist suggests that, no matter one’s geographical origins, the language of art has no borders. Painting with porcupine quills, Shaw renders the precise details of objects ranging from flowers to distant mountains, which are outlined in embossed gold.
