Fort Worth Biennial

September 09 - October 15,2022

From Fort Worth Community Arts Center: "The 2022 Fort Worth Biennial unravels many memories and sensations absorbed by the artists in childhood. When it comes to the visceral experience of the world, there is no limit to remembrance of our authentic selves, as much as there has to be no curtailment to interrogation of local mythologies and folklore. The works in the exhibition articulate how idealized perceptions of the world formed during nonage are oftentimes doomed to be in dissonance with the failing social systems that we encounter upon growing up. We switch from baby cradles to rocking horses and rocking chairs, to beds and couches (particularly present in the post-pandemic work-from-home settings) in a desire to restore these joys of early upbringing and to resolve divisive socio-political issues. Coming from many regions of America, Asia and the Levant, in this exhibition the artists who consider Fort Worth their home emphasize the need for attunement – in a cultural and political sense – in order for the communities to feel closer and connected."
