Culture
& Commentary |
Visitors moving through "Multiple Choices" will next experience ways
in which art has provided reflections of "Culture &
Commentary," addressing various social, political and historical issues.
Alison Saar's Tobacco Demon, for example, depicts the evil overseer of
a pre-Civil War plantation. For the artist, this figure also symbolizes
today's drug lords. Alfredo Jaar's The Fire Next Time, a sculpture of stacked
light boxes displaying photos taken during the Civil Rights movement, reflects
the chaos of that epoch in American history.
