Remixing transforms the familiar into something new. Remixed: Entwined Histories and New Forms explores this visual strategy in art that “remixes” both physical objects and immaterial legacies.
In this exhibition, materials are conduits for spirit, memory, and history. Artists do not simply use these materials; they listen to them, speaking with, not for, across time and space. Basil Kincaid and Shinique Smith deconstruct and reassemble lived-in fabrics, materials that act as personal archives or, collectively, maps charting lineage. Candice Lin employs culturally and economically resonant natural pigments, tracing their fraught duality as both sacred and commodified. Sabrina Gschwandtner highlights the legacy of women in early cinema by stitching together film footage of a pioneering female animator. Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola “paints” with a swarm of stretched, stitched fabrics, whilst Adia Millett “quilts” with paint. Through quilting, Jeffrey Sincich and Ben Venom soften the abrasive—gritty urban signs and recycled heavy metal apparel, respectively. Jeffrey Gibson and Porfirio Gutierrez synthesize indigenous legacy with radical elements of modern life, finding unexpected cohesion in seemingly distinct cultural motifs.
