Museum Of Contemporary Art Denver Showcases Artists As Citizens
“It is the idea that citizenship is an ongoing exercise, much like an artistic practice, that defines these works and the ‘citizen-artists’ who made them,” exhibition curator and MCA Denver Assistant Curator Zoe Larkins said when announcing the show.
The exhibit features five new commissions approaching issues that have become more pressing this year: voter registration, native lands, access to information, legislation on citizenship and human connection. One of these, “Property Rights” by Yumi Janairo Roth, is the artist’s exploration of how our image of public land and the American West is built, maintained, accessed, controlled and delineated.
