Sculptures are simultaneously physical and virtual, while video and animation extend beyond screens and into the gallery. The exhibition brings together a group of artists\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/whitney.org\/artists\/19002\">Morehshin Allahyari<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/whitney.org\/artists\/17525\">American Artist<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/whitney.org\/artists\/19619\">Zach Blas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/whitney.org\/artists\/19620\">Jemima Wyman<\/a>, Auriea Harvey, and <a href=\"https:\/\/whitney.org\/artists\/20417\">Rachel Rossin<\/a>\u2014who engage with the concept of \u201crefiguring,\u201d appropriating material forms and bodies to re-create and reinvent them. Refiguring becomes a process of imagining alternative worlds as a means for constructing identity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"large\">The five installations on view in this exhibition respond to the various forces that form identity, such as new modes of self-representation (via avatars) and even structures of oppression, from technological systems to colonialism. Some works explore how identity is embedded in the development of computer interfaces and artificial intelligence. Others address the refiguring of identity in both online environments and ancient cultural myths. Together, the works highlight the porous boundaries between today\u2019s material and virtual realms, and the ways in which their interplay shapes our idea of selfhood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"large\">This installation will be located in our Lobby Gallery. Entrance to the <a href=\"https:\/\/whitney.org\/visit\/free-admission\">Lobby Gallery is always free<\/a>\u2014no ticket required. This exhibition will be open during Museum hours starting March 3, 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"large\">This exhibition is organized by Christiane Paul, Curator of Digital Art at the Whitney.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition at Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15302,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[362],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-blogs","entry","clearfix","entry-post-module-layout-sidebar-right","thumbnail-color-tone-dark","metro-landscape","entry-post","entry-standard","entry-post-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15301"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15303,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15301\/revisions\/15303"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
