Cladogram: 2nd KMA International Juried Biennial at Katonah Museum of Art


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 09/19/2021
Cladogram: 2nd KMA International Juried Biennial, juried by Yasmeen Siddiqui, brings together artists working in visual and written media. A cladogram is a branching diagram that shows relationships among different species and their history of evolution. Similarly, this exhibition will include work that engages with personal or family history, explores ways in which historical objects and ideas are organized, categorized and displayed, and challenges the dominant narrative of history and art history. With Cladogram, the KMA presents a broad range of contemporary work created by artists based locally, regionally and from 21 countries around the world in an effort to build networks of artists internationally. Yasmeen Siddiqui is a curator, essayist, lecturer and the founding director of Minerva Projects, which supports interdisciplinary artists. Awards will be granted for the top three submissions.

Families

The KMA is happy to welcome families in a safe and fun way. Have you wondered about the silhouettes in the Learning Center? They form an art history timeline through artworks, artists and objects that represent different cultures and periods and show how art has changed over time. A variety of activities and projects invite visitors to explore the timeline and think creatively about how artists examine connections between the past and present. Play a matching game connecting images and silhouettes, use KMA archival materials in an art project, experiment with artistic activities from different art movements and embark on an art history journey around the KMA. Contribute your ideas to help the Museum decide on what silhouette should be one of the artworks to exemplify the 21st century on the timeline. Members and children under 12 are always free. Masks are required for anyone over 2 years old, regardless of vaccination status.
