Sunday's New York Times Spotlights The Aldrich Museum's Twenty Twenty Exhibit

The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum's Twenty Twenty exhibit is in today's New York Times!

“The artists in some sense are voting by creating these drawings,” [Richard Klein @richardklein67] said. “They’re creating images that they believe have political and social import.”
 
Twenty Twenty is on view until March 14 and features artists Marti Cormand, Oasa DuVerney, Judith Eisler, Andy Mister, William Powhida, Gil Scullion, and Diana Shpungin.

Timed tickets or reservations required, please visit shop.aldrichart.org to plan your visit.

Twenty Twenty is an exhibition of works on paper rolled out sequentially over the course of five months that presents the work of seven artists who primarily utilize photographic imagery. 

2020 has been a historic year and the work created by the artists reflects their lived experience through a landmark election year, a global pandemic, and a national reckoning with systemic racial injustice and police brutality.

The exhibition asks the question can a ‘slow’ museum exhibition actively participate in democracy during this period of crisis. The artists will be adding works to the exhibition in early December and early February creating a platform for response throughout the exhibition. The exhibition will be accompanied by a newspaper, published in two editions, that will bookend the exhibition, featuring an essay by the exhibition’s curator Richard Klein, Exhibitions Director.
