Tour | Caroline Monnet: Bridging Distance
Michelle Word, Director of Education, tours Caroline Monnet: Bridging Distance. This exhibition documents artist Caroline Monnet’s twenty-two-day voyage by cargo ship across the Atlantic Ocean. Monnet grew up between Quebec, Canada and Brittany, France, and positions the Atlantic Ocean as a middle ground, a point of cultural and spiritual contact, between her Algonquin and French ancestries. The film and sculptures on view challenge the colonial organization of land, bodies, and time, pointing to the ways in which geographies and languages are simultaneously formed and disrupted in “middle” spaces.
