Rivane Neuenschwander features in 'Shifting the Silence'

'Shifting the Silence' features dynamic works by thirty-two women artists who use the radical language of abstraction to enhance our understanding of the world we inhabit. Named after artist Etel Adnan’s 2020 book about history and existence, 'Shifting the Silence' embraces experimentation, impermanence, and subjectivity — bold yet poetic characteristics that mark the art of our time.

Featuring artists including Nairy Baghramian, Firelei Báez, Tania Pérez Córdova, Liz Hernández, Cinthia Marcelle, Rivane Neuenschwander, Lorna Simpson and Haegue Yang, the exhibition harnesses their defiant, yet enlightened energy to explore visual culture, the motivations of its practitioners, and its varied influences. This experiential exhibition of art produced over the last quarter-century includes sculpture, photography, textile, video, painting, and time-based installation.
