New York: HIDE/SEEK at Brooklyn Museum through February 12, 2012
Monday, January 30th, 2012
Robert Rauschenberg, Canto XIV [from XXXIV Drawings for Dante’s Inferno (including KAR)] (1959–1960)
HIDE/SEEK, the controversial exhibition that was first featured at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, is now on view at The Brooklyn Museum. Exploring issues of gender, sexual identity, concealment, and transgression in modern America, it simultaneously presents both a eulogy for the irreversible past and a radiant hope for the present and future. The works subtly meditate on universal themes of love, companionship, interaction, conversation, transience, transformation, dissolution, loss, and death.
