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

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.

Supports

The materials of artworks and objects can suggest systems for working, a structured but adjustable ground upon which attachments can be made: grids, collage, abstraction, and repetition. Formal aesthetic and political uses of supports demonstrate close ties between artists and their subjects and offer elements that draw us closer.
