EVANSTON: CARRIE MAE WEEMS

Carrie Mae Weems: Ritual and Revolution
September 12 - December 10, 2017

MARY AND LEIGH BLOCK MUSEUM OF ART
40 Arts Circle Drive
Evanston, IL

From blockmuseum.northwestern.edu:

Ritual
and Revolution (1998) is an immersive, gallery-sized installation that marks one of the artist’s earliest forays into three dimensions. Composed of 18 diaphanous printed cloth banners organized in a semi-architectural formation and a poetic audio track, Ritual and Revolution explores the historic human struggle for equality and justice, including references to the Middle Passage, the French Revolution, World War II, among others.
