Exploring the Language of Form
We are excited to announce our upcoming exhibition Exploring the Language of Form. Over 80 art works and artifacts spanning 5,000 years of human experience selected from the museum’s global collection will be revealed in this exhibition. The first exhibition of its kind at the museum to focus solely on sculptural forms, works in all media including ceramic, wood, metal, fabric, ivory, feathers, glass, stone, and paper, are to be exhibited, many for the first time. Objects of spiritual or religious significance sit side-by-side with purely utilitarian objects, and often merge disparate time periods and locations. From intensely personal miniature objects such as amulets or netsuke to robust sculptural statements, variations in scale and materiality stretch the boundaries of what a 3-dimensional expression can be.
