History and Art

"You can't just say, 'We're a history museum' and only push the historic aspect, you have to show people how the history impacts people right now, how it impacts the choices they make, and one of the best ways to do that is through the arts." according to a spokesman for the Charles H. Wright Museum for African-American History, Detroit.

Change and Transformation:

Asian Art and Heritage in the Hudson Valley

The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.

(I Ching)

"Change and Transformation: Asian Art and Heritage in the Hudson Valley" addresses the mix of the traditional and the new through art by contemporary Asian and Asian-American artists currently residing in or visiting the Hudson Valley. It asks the question: how does heritage influence art-making? How do artists of Asian descent either take inspiration from or seek to transcend the traditional forms of art embedded in their cultural backgrounds? See what furthers and perseveres in the varied and rich work of these artists.
