DOWNLOAD PRESS RELEASE FOR LECTURE
Internationally acclaimed artist Shahzia Sikander will serve as the ninth guest curator of the “Selects” exhibition series in the Nancy and Edwin Marks Gallery, devoted to showing the museum’s permanent collection. Sikander will mine and interpret the museum’s collection and produce an installation of selected work. This exhibition will include a new work created by Sikander, inspired by Cooper-Hewitt’s collection. Trained as a miniaturist at the National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan, Sikander merges the traditional South Asian art of miniature painting with contemporary forms and styles. Her work explores the relationship between the present and the past and the richness of multicultural identities.
Shahzia Sikander Selects: Works from the Permanent Collection is made possible
in part by Joel and Anne Ehrenkranz.
The Shahzia Sikander Selects brochure was made possible by funds
from the artist and Sikkema Jenkins & Co.

NOTEWORTHY
ARTICLE: VIEW OF THE GLOBAL ARTIST:
"...Traditionally,
visual art has been a culturally reductive form of human expression,
whereby communities, tribes, cities and countries have defined
their identity. We have been quick to label art as ‘eastern
or western’, ‘indigenous or foreign’, ‘Christian
or Islamic’, and so the list goes on as galleries define
their areas of specialty. However, artists such as Shahzia
Sikander are transcending such categorisations and resent
being exoticised as simply Asian or Pakistani."
