What's in a Flag? Artists' Intentions and the Meaning of the Stars and Stripes. Caroline will discuss how the six artists featured in this installation use the American flag to make a wide range of points, from a scathing indictment of American foreign policy to a commentary on the paranoia and insecurity of the American middle class. Some of them, intentionally or not, challenge viewers' presumptions about such a recognizable symbol. With introspection and additional information, the viewer can come closer to understanding the artists' intention and the flags' meanings. The more aware we are of the possibilities, the richer our experience of these works will be.
Please join us for this gallery talk by student curator Caroline Liegey '13, Levison Intern, in the Hood's entrance gallery.
