Bearing Witness: Contemporary Art Exhibition and Online Auction benefitting Center for Story & Witness
@ Online Exhibition and Auction
Online
Opening Saturday, October 17th, from 8AM - 12AM
On view through Saturday, November 7th
Bearing Witness, an online contemporary art exhibition and live auction benefiting Center for Story & Witness, is opening on 10/17.
“Bearing Witness,” is an online exhibition curated by Randy Jayne Rosenberg, founder of Art Works for Change and the former chief curator of The World Bank collection, with support from Tiphanie Spencer of Chicago’s Hana Pietri Gallery. This is more than an exhibition. It’s an invitation to audiences to “see” the social injustices we too often choose to ignore.
In Bearing Witness, artists whose work is included in major museum collections (the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art, and New York’s Museum of Modern Art, among others) will be shown alongside self-taught artists whose work exists outside of the mainstream and has often been developed in the face of – or in response to – the racial, social or economic injustices Center for Story & Witness seeks to address.
Proceeds will benefit Center for Story & Witness and its global testimonial writing program for survivors of gender-based violence and other human rights violations. Participating artists include:
Daniel Arzola, Lynn Basa, Phyllis Bramson, Diane Christianson, Barbara Ciurej, Lindsay Lockman, Vera Clement, William Conger, Doug Fogelson, Al Grumet, Stephanie Hargrave, Ellen Holtzblatt, Deborah Kapoor, Belen Millan, Sandro Miller, Jordan Mozer, Susan Plum, Lucy Puls, Rowan Renee, Randy Rosenberg, Soledad Salame, Mike Siska, Lucy Slivinski, Tiphanie Spencer, and Marvin Tate.
