| 説明 | Civil Rights activist and musician Joan Baez was on hand at the opening of the exhibition A More Perfect Union: American Artists and the Currents of Our Time on June 28 at the Xippas Gallery in Geneva.The traveling art exhibition is part of the Art in Embassies Democracy Collection initiative which highlights the profound connection between artistic expression, activism and defense of democracy. “Artists are the world’s best ambassadors for the cause of freedom, because they survive on freedom,” said Megan Beyer, Director of the Office of Art in Embassies at the U.S. Department of State. “Art can make you feel what a diplomat can only try to make you understand.”“This exhibit echoes the indomitable spirit of democracy and the unwavering pursuit of human rights through the profound discourse of art,” said Ambassador Michèle Taylor, the U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN Human Rights Council (HRC). “As states from across the globe convene for the 53rd HRC session, let these works serve as a resounding testament to our shared dedication towards an equitable, just world.”A More Perfect Union: American Artists and the Currents of Our Time, curated by Art in Embassies Chief Curator Camille Benton, President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities member Nora Halpern, and former Art in Embassies Director Ellen Susman, includes works by some of the most respected contemporary artists in the United States. Exhibition works focus on issues of equality, freedom, justice, and other founding principles of the United States. Among the artists are Tanya Aguiñiga, Doug Aitken, Paula Crown, Jenny Holzer, Wyatt Gallery, Jeffrey Gibson, Jay Lynn Gomez, Eric Gottesman, Tomashi Jackson, Titus Kaphar, Christine Sun Kim, Bruce Nauman, Yoko Ono, Alexis Rockman, Edward Ruscha, Will Ryman, Emily Shur, Xavier Tavera, Hank Willis Thomas, Marie Watt, Carrie Mae Weems, Susan Weil, Lawrence Weiner, Ambassador Chantale Wong, and Yu-Wen Wu.For more information about the exhibit which is open to the public until July 22 in Geneva please see: geneva.usmission.gov/2023/06/27/art-in-embassies-travelin... |
