How artists build and shape a myriad of knowledge forms, spanning the decolonial to the transnational and the multilingual
What types of knowledge do artists produce? How do they give that knowledge form? Featuring works by 11 artists from 9 different countries, whose birth years range from 1946 to 1992, Ways of Knowing highlights different ways artists give form to complex ideas. The catalog, documenting an exhibition at Minneapolis' Walker Art Center, highlights the strategies by which some of today's most compelling artists resist assumptions about how information should be gathered and shared, bringing their own perspectives to cultural artifacts and histories. Some focus on the ethics of research or the connections between culture, place and language, while others examine the impacts of colonialism across continents or the historical formation of gender identity, among other themes.
Artists include: Iosu Aramburu, Sammy Baloji, Anna Boghiguian, Cabello/Carceller, Chang Yuchen, Petrit Halilaj, Sky Hopinka, Christine Howard Sandoval, Eduardo Navarro, Gala Porras-Kim, Rose Salane.
