GRAND RAPIDS: CHRISTOPHER MYERS

Each year this blood shall change and blossom: Christopher Myers on Myth and Migration

February 8 - April 27, 2025

GRAND RAPIDS ART MUSEUM
101 Monroe Center Street NW
Grand Rapids, MI

From artmuseumgr.org:

In this GRAM-organized exhibition, Christopher Myers commemorates heroic stories of human migration through his monumental textiles and sculptures.

Myers’s works acknowledge the mythic proportion of individual migration stories and remind us of the significant risk and ambition of people who journey far from home in the hope of a better future. The exhibition will include new and never-before-seen work by the Brooklyn-based artist, including a series of new textiles inspired by Myers’s conversations with seasonal farmworkers here in West Michigan.

The exhibition will also mark the first time Myers’s sculptural series, They Will Never Remember the Boats We Came On, will be exhibited and will include his epic thirty-foot textile, Odyssey 4, on loan from the Glenstone Museum in Potomac, Maryland.
