THE WATER PROJECTS
Fragile Waters is one of a trio of exhibitions about water at SJMA this spring. The Darkened Mirror: Global Perspectives on Water (April 7 – August 27, 2017) features five international artists who address humanity’s conflicted relationship with water: Vibha Galhotra, Gerco de Ruijter, Khvay Samnang, Jesper Just, and Amy Balkin. In their videos and installation work, these artists address such themes as water access and ownership in Cambodia; agricultural irrigation in the American Southwest; the ethical implications of desert settlements; river pollution in India; and the physical and political impact of climate change locally and globally. Also on view through September 24, 2017, is Diana Al-Hadid: Liquid City, in which Diana Al-Hadid’s monumental sculpture Nolli’s Orders anchors SJMA’s Central Skylight Gallery like a fountain in a Roman piazza.
