Fade

Working amid a turbulent era in US history shaped by widespread social and political change, the seventeen artists in Fade embrace spirituality, surrealism, and nonlinear conceptions of time to locate spaces of possibility. Many of the artists gathered here make work informed by a relationship to place, drawing on ancestral lineages and collective stories, and tracing continuities between past and present. Some engage the built environment—architecture, infrastructure, and the land—as a repository for memories. Others center a relationship to the body and spirit, using materials and installation methods that register a presence.
