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

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.

Accumulations

As collecting institutions, museums were born from the imperial charge to amass objects from subjugated worlds. Today this fraught history can be overshadowed by our attachment to the mission of keeping artworks safe in perpetuity for the public good. Thus acts of accumulation are always accompanied by acts of forgetting, revision, and recollection.
