ART EXHIBITION:

Binding & Looping: Transfer of Presence in Contemporary Pacific Art

Open through December 5, 2014

University of Hawai‘i Art Gallery, Art Building, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa

Binding & Looping: Transfer of Presence in Contemporary Pacific Art brings together artists from Hawai‘i and the Pacific for whom fiber and concepts of binding are both a respected tradition and an inspiration for contemporary art. In their individual ways, these artists consider their indigenous binding and looping customs and at the same time incorporate different media to create new works in sculpture, printmaking, photography, painting, and video. The exhibition includes work by artists from Aotearoa/New Zealand, Cook Islands, Hawai‘i, Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, and Tonga.

Hours: Sun. 12 -- 4 pm; Mon. -- Fri. 10 am -- 4 pm. It is suggested that visitors come earlier in the week if possible. On Friday, December 5, there may be additional activity in the gallery in the afternoon in preparation for the closing performance from 6 -- 7 pm. (Additional details below.)
