Gabrielle Tillenburg curates exhibition Past Process at Strathmore Hall

Gabrielle Tillenburg, a MA/PhD student of Modern and Contemporary Caribbean and Diaspoirc Art in the Department, has curated an exhibition at Strathmore, Past Process. Open through March 13, the exhibition features the work of four artists Tillenburg has assembled who rely on memory, history, and tradition to explore their relationship to the past in paper, print, fiber, and ceramics.  All four artists reflect on personal narratives by turning to the past, referencing their own memories, heritage, history, or tradition in their artistic practice. Drawing upon objects, places, childhood, and stories passed down through generations, each artist’s process involves multiple ties to varying times and places. Their interpretations, recollections, and representations of the past transcend the typical linear method of accounting time. The resulting work is not documentary, artifact, nor historical account but rather a method of understanding, making sense of, and representation of their own personal narratives as they relate to the past and now, present. Gabrielle will offer a Virtual Curator's Talk on February 16th. For more information please visit strathmore.org or read the press release.

Congratulations Gabrielle!
