Vortexhibition
Polyphonica: Opus 1
Exhibition
Preview and Art:21 Premiere Screening
Friday,
October 2, 2009
Be the first to view the new Henry exhibition Vortexhibition Polyphonica, a new exhibition with an unusual
and dynamic approach to exhibiting objects from the Henry's permanent
collection. Instead of a fixed presentation of art works relating to history,
style, or subject matter, this exhibition experiments with a fluid structure
that will change over time. In keeping with the active spirit of the Vortexhibition Polyphonica concept,
Henry Associate Curator Sara Krajewski has initially chosen three objects that
evoke action words or phrases. Transform, Suspend, and Mixing Messages then became organizing concepts. In Art :21's 5th season, the episode Transformation, further
illuminates the Transform concept addressed in the exhibition - both episode and exhibition also feature artist Cindy Sherman.    Images from top left:
