“Unbounded: New Art for a New Century”
The Newark Museum has grouped together 50 works of the last 15 years by artists that represent creativity from all parts of the world. Painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, and jewelry are examples of “global” art for modern times.
Included are sculptor Martin Puryear, ceramic artist Diego Romero, painter Kwesi Owusu-Ankomah, sculptor Lu Wen Xia, photographer Lorna Simpson, Tibetan artist Gonkar Gyatso, mixed media artist Senzeni Marasela and many more.
According to the program curators, the exhibit is “A dynamic thematic display highlighting the universal concerns and ideas that inspire artistic creativity, creating unexpected connections or groupings that transcend traditional divisions based on geography, genre or media.“
