"Blind Dates" Exhibition
Pratt Institute
This event has ended.
Tracing what remains of the peoples, places and cultures that once constituted the vast Ottoman geography, Blind Dates instigates a series of interdisciplinary ‘match-made’ encounters to mediate ruptured pasts and to consider their affect on life today. At the heart of the exhibition are research-based artistic collaborations by artists from Armenia, Bosnia, Greece, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey and their respective Diasporas who explore attachments to images, voices and histories that collide with existing taxonomies of nation-states, art histories and identities. On view is a cluster of sensibilities that nest at the verge of remembering and forgetting, truth and fiction, real and imaginary.
