State of the World Opens at H&R Block Artspace
State of the World, opening February 10 and running through March 18, presents work by 14 artists whose projects invoke and explore the symbolic power of the flag as a means to understand and question the power structures they represent and, at times, create imaginative new proposals for alliances and allegiances.
The 14 artists featured in the exhibit are Vito Acconci, Sonya Clark, Edith Dekyndt, Mounir Fatmi, Komar & Melamid, Pedro Lasch, Lucy + Jorge Orta, Georgia Papageorge, Mike Sinclair, Allison Smith, James Woodfill and Yara Said for The Refugee Nation.
Employing artistic strategies including abstraction, representation, and performance, these artists investigate ideas relating to identity, alienation, nationalism and citizenship as they confront issues pertinent to global culture today and respond to social and political stress and the unrest of our time.
