  • September 27, 2011—April 8, 2012 (The O’Brian Gallery)

  • Do objects remember? Or are they wrapped in the memories we bring to them, like layers of stories folded around a picture, a voice, or a worn-out shoe? In this exhibit, created to complement ひろしま hiroshima by Ishiuchi Miyako, opening in The Audain Gallery on October 13, visitors are invited to experience selected objects and media from MOA’s worldwide collection. Some are ancient, some are new. Some are inscribed with their histories, while others are uprooted – their origins, makers, and journeys erased or forgotten. Some, like the green dress of the title, speak to memories and relationships not contained by the Museum but still part of living communities. Please join us for this intimate, yet revealing, look at the collections, curated by Karen Duffek, Krisztina Laszlo, Carol Mayer, and Susan Rowley.
