UNCHARTED: Artists as Wayfinders

Sun Valley Museum of Art

Uncharted: Artists as Wayfinders is the first exhibition in a three-part series that explores journeys past, present, and future through the lenses of mapping, mending, and memory. Focusing on journeys to and within the Americas, the series engages with the current national discourse and asks: How have migration stories shaped our past and present? How might future population shifts unfold in response to climate change and unexpected events such as pandemics? Each of the artists in Uncharted uses maps, borders, changing landscapes, and navigation as tools for understanding the movement of people and other living things. Internationally known artist Tiffany Chung has created new work for the exhibition that explores the history of the spice trade along the Silk Road and the food traditions of refugees from Silk Road countries now resettled in Boise.

The Community Library

The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history - millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless and ridiculed mercilessly by critics and the people of Paris for their new style. Yet these outsiders went on to become the iconic founders of the world’s favorite art movement. Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? What led to them finally break free of the rules to hold their own radical exhibition on April 15, 1874, which has since taken on legendary status as the birth of the French art movement? 150 years later, the Musée d’Orsay, Paris and the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC have revisited this historic event in a major exhibition spanning the Atlantic.
