POTSDAM -- The Art Museum at SUNY Potsdam will present an exhibition of works inspired by a creative interpretation of Vasco de Gama's voyage to India in 1498, starting Thursday, Sept. 15. The exhibition, entitled "WHAT IS A TRADE?: Donald Fels and the Signpainters of South India," will be on display until Oct. 15 in the museum's Gibson Gallery.
Organized by the Tacoma Art Museum, the exhibition consists of 16 monumental enamel paintings on aluminum sheet made by Fels, a Seattle-based artist, in collaboration with signboard painters in Cochin, India. The exhibition explores the many interrelated issues involved in globalization, from 500-year-old voyages of exploration, through present-day economics.
The museum, located in Brainerd Hall, is open to the public from noon until 5 p.m. on Monday and Friday, from noon until 7 p.m. from Tuesday through Thursday, and from noon until 4 p.m. on Saturdays.
