Museum of Arts and Design din New York a deschis recent expoziţia Swept Away: Dust, Ashes, and Dirt in Contemporary Art and Design, expoziţie care încearcă să capteze potenţialul artistic al materialelor efemere. MAD a invitat 25 de artişti consacraţi, ale căror lucrări transformă praful, noroiul şi cenuşa în instalaţii, sculpturi, desene, picturi şi fotografii pline de frumuseţe şi vitalitate. Expoziţia va include, de asemenea, o serie de instalaţii live, care vor permite o interacţiune cât se poate de directă cu artiştii şi operele lor.

Swept Away: Dust, Ashes, and Dirt in Contemporary Art and Design doreşte să arate cum materialele aruncate, umile, trecute cu vedere, pot fi manipulate şi recombinate în cadrul unor lucrări care ating tematici precum natura tranzitorie a artei şi a vieţii, conţinutul memoriei, dezintegrarea şi rămăşiţele existenţei umane. La această expoziţie vor participa, printre alţii, Kim Abeles (SUA), Catherine Bertola (Anglia), James Croak (SUA), Phoebe Cummings (Anglia), Zhang Huan (China), Maskull Lasserre (Canada), Alexandre Orion (Brazilia), Jim Dingilian (SUA), Su Zhiquang (China), Vik Muniz (SUA) şi Antonio Riello (Italia).

Curatorul expoziţiei este David Revere McFadden.

Swept Away: Dust, Ashes, and Dirt in Contemporary Art and Design rămâne deschisă până pe 12 august 2012.
