Summary:
"Three exhibitions are celebrated in the spaces of the Museum in this season of moving from winter to spring. Their 'order' is deliberately non-linear, so as to underscore the non-linearity of both the history and the issues and questions of which they partake. The first focuses on the work of eighteen artists who mark the tenth anniversary of their meetings to discuss the various levels and angles at which their work might mean. The second furthers that discussion by focusing on the work of a mother and her daughter. The third, which is one sense foundational to the first two, offers the work of two very different artists ... on the subject of biblical women. The issues laid out in this last exhibit are among those taken up in the first two. The questions repeat themselves as the present becomes the past and the future becomes the present--and we move on without moving beyond questions."--Ori Z. Soltes, curator
