Excavation examines the varied use and role of excavation in today’s art. The exhibition will be conceptualized in three categories, each one succinct. The first exhibition, Material, will include artists whose practice involves the physical excavation of their medium, the second, Memory, will include artists who seek to mine and uncover fragments of a personal or a collective memory, and the last installment, Artifact, includes artists whose work seeks to materialize, reconstruct, or systemize artifacts or the object(s) of investigation.
