The art in Looking Glass intrigues and invites. You’ll find yourself wondering just how an artist created a piece. And you’ll see your reflection peering back as you take a closer look.

The art in Looking Glass intrigues and invites. You’ll find yourself wondering just how an artist created a piece. And you’ll see your reflection peering back as you take a closer look.

Melanie Johanson, curator of the Cornell Art Museum, says Looking Glass is the most interactive of all the shows she’s curated. She calls it “immersive.” Viewers of the exhibit will have numerous opportunities to see themselves in the art.

Some works in Looking Glass are quiet and contemplative. Miya Ando’s series of works on paper called “gekko” or moonlight capture reflected light. Her sculptures are created with silver nitrate.

“The room is really, really, really peaceful and serene,” Johanson says of the first floor room containing Ando’s work. “I would encourage spending more time in the room.”

Other works are bold statements.

To Survive on This Shore is also a book! Here’s part of the forward of the book:

“For over five years Jess T. Dugan and social worker Vanessa Fabbre traveled through the United States… The featured individuals share a wide variety of life narratives spanning the last ninety years, offering an important historical record of transgender experience and activism in the United States” 

So with each photo theres an excerpt from the interviews! And guess what? Miss Major is in the book too!

In general I would recommend Dugan’s work but another great series that also they’ve done, and uses colour beautifully is Every Breath We Drew.

Lorna Simpson, Gestures and Reenactments, 1985

“The title of her first photo-text work, made in 1985, and of the exhibition of that year in which it was first exhibited was Gestures / Reenactments, and one can argue that all Simpson's work is built on the juxtaposition of gestures and reenactments, creating meaning in the resonant gap between the two. It is a gap that invites the viewer/reader to enter, all the while requiring an active reckoning with some inalienable truths: seeing is not necessarily believing, and what we might see is altered not only by our individual experiences and assumptions but also, critically, by what we might hear." -Joan Simon

NEW LIFE, OLD LIFE, NEW LIFE, Helen Shelley 2017

Alexandra Kehayoglou crafts wool rugs as unique works of art, with a hand-tufting process that takes several months to complete. Using discarded thread from her family’s carpet factory in Buenos Aires, she describes her rugs as portals to memories, with a direct connection to her Greek grandparents’ past weaving of Ottoman-style carpets in Turkey.

She really creates some kind of day dream with her work. It’s not just beauitiful, it doesn’t make you think, you automatically get dragged into another world. Her work has impact.
