Attachment--Krannert Art Museum, August 27 – December 12, 2015: Appendages

This guide provides additional resources and information on the artists and culture groups included in the exhibition Attachment. The exhibition is on view at the Krannert Art Museum (KAM) through December 18, 2015 in the East Galleries.

Appendages

Desire, disgust, and comfort commingle in works that hover in the space between self and object. Attachments to mother figures, celebrities, and childhood textures and memories suggest physical and psychological appendages—things that seem supplementary yet are elemental.
