Do Ho Suh: The Spaces in Between In this exhibition, artist Do Ho Suh uses a chandelier, wallpaper, and a decorative screen to focus attention on issues of migration and transnational identity. Using repetition, uniformity, and shifts in scale, Suh questions cultural and aesthetic differences between his native Korea and his adopted homes in the United States and Europe.
Alphabété: The World Through the Eyes of Frédéric Bruly Bouabré This exhibition is about artist, poet, researcher, and inventor Frédéric Bruly Bouabré who created an original pictographic alphabet as a way to borrow from, yet subvert, the medium of his French colonizers. Among the first generation in his native Ivory Coast to be formally taught how to write, Bouabré was inspired to translate the Bété oral language into written form. From the 1970s until his death in 2014, he also created hundreds of brightly colored postcard-size illustrations that incorporate African writing systems, popular culture, scientific theories, and tongue-in-cheek humor.
