Description
Materiality and Perception in Contemporary Atlantic Art honours the legacy of Marion McCain by showcasing over forty works of contemporary Atlantic art. Focusing intently on the materiality of the objects themselves, these works ask viewers to look again, challenging their initial perceptions. Viewed together, the works embody the idea that consciousness is a flow and flux of singular sensations; as much as we view each work as an individual object, new meanings arise when we consider the collection of discrete objects holistically in a single exhibition.
