Beyond/In Western New York 2010: Alternating Currents

Beyond/In Western New York 2010: Alternating Currents

Location

Twelve of Western New York’s museums and galleries
Buffalo, NY
United States

This international contemporary art exhibition is a curatorial collaboration between twelve of Western New York’s museums and galleries showcasing the work of over 100 extraordinary artists from the Buffalo Niagara region and beyond. Works in an expansive range of media, all connected under a common theme, Alternating Currents, will be on display beginning with the Beyond | In WNY Opening Weekend September 24–26, and extending through the end of 2010.

Artists were invited to respond to the regionally relevant theme Alternating Currents and its undercurrent of utopian power, both literal and metaphorical; reclamation or use of natural assets; visions of the future and the past; technological progress or intrusion; and the diverse demographic and social constructs of this region.

Installations by featured international artists will also become permanent parts of the region’s landscape, serving as lasting impressions of the biennial.
