Mixed-media Exhibition “Colloquy” at Arts Council

“BETWEEN SEEING AND KNOWING”: This collaborative installation by Anna Boothe and Nancy Cohen is featured in “Colloquy.” The mixed-media exhibition curated Boothe and Cohen is in the Taplin Gallery at the Arts Council of Princeton through December 8.

The Arts Council of Princeton presents “Colloquy,” a mixed-media exhibition curated by Anna Boothe and Nancy Cohen. Since 2012, Boothe and Cohen have been collaborating on an evolving project entitled Between Seeing and Knowing, and now present “Colloquy” in the Arts Council’s award-wining Taplin Gallery. 

According to Jonathan Goodman, “In the long run, what is most important about this body of work is its collaborative manufacture, its spiritual insight, and its interpretation of another culture. These things indicate an openness toward culture and art that invests Boothe and Cohen’s work with real dignity and insight. We are living in a time when depth is missing from culture, but the artists here are offering exactly that….”

The Arts Council of Princeton is located at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, 102 Witherspoon Street, Princeton. For more information, visit www.artscouncilofprinceton.org or call (609) 924-8777.
