Print This PageSAND: Memory, Meaning and Metaphor
SAND: Memory, Meaning and Metaphor considers one of earth’s most fundamental elements and takes a fascinating look into the myriad ways in which artists have explored sand's physical and metaphysical properties.
Encompassing an extraordinary range of art, from 20th-century masters to cutting-edge artists of today, the exhibition traces several thematic threads. In a number of works, sand becomes a metaphor for memory—from Joseph Cornell’s evocative Sand Box (1942) to the elegiac 1993 photographs of footprints on a beach by Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Other works operate as potent political, social, or psychological statements, such as Untitled (From the Silueta Series), 1976, by Ana Mendieta, in which the artist documented the gradual effacement of her body’s outline in the sand, referencing her own cultural displacement.
