Knoxville Museum of Art: “Empty Columns Are A Place to Dream”
Curated by Ric Kasini Kadour, this exhibition features the work of 18 collage artists from eleven countries. Each artist used an image by Robert French (1841-1917), The Square, Parsonstown from the Lawrence Photograph Collection, to imagine a monument that speaks to a world where all people enjoy safety, security, well-being, and dignity on their own terms.
In the museum’s Kramer Gallery through February 19, 2022.
