Minneapolis Institute Of Arts will present an exhibition named 'Africa: Connecting with Sub-Saharan Art'. It will be on view from Saturday, October 3, 2009 to Monday, April 5, 2010, at Cargill Gallery (103).
This exhibition is an experiment with different ways to display and explain African art. It comprises about fifteen objects, primarily sculptures, drawn mainly from the MIA’s permanent collection, shown in various settings.
For example, some employ different sorts of captions, with or without contextual photos. The settings explore degrees of the objects' accessibility, offer differing amounts of information, and use audio-visual aids, among other parameters.
A crucial part of the exhibition will be the reactions—comments, criticism, and suggestions—from the different audiences. Questions and responses will be determined in close association with MIA’s Education and Interactive Media departments. -- www.artsmia.org
