The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College | Jul 09 - Dec 30
The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College presents Where Words Falter: Art and Empathy, an exhibition of work from the Tang collection that encourages visitors to strengthen their empathic muscles. The exhibition opens Saturday, July 9—the Tang’s annual community day—and runs through December 30. The past few years of the pandemic and social upheaval have intensified feelings of distance and difference, exacerbating inequality, alienation, and distrust. Where Words Falter aims to act as a counterweight by offering viewers opportunities to re-engage with a shared sense of humanity through more than 100 works of art, including photography, painting, textile, and moving image, many of which are recent acquisitions being shown at the Tang for the first time.

Barbara Kruger, Untitled (Cast of characters), 2016/2020
David Zwirner Gallery | June 30—August 12, 2022
Kruger powerfully and directly engages with viewers through her distinctive visual language, utilizing images, text, and technology as tools of communication to reveal and question established power structures and social constructs. The exhibition will feature nine large-scale video works and installations, as well as sound installations and vinyl wallpaper, that not only reaffirm the cultural prominence of Kruger’s iconic visual language but reveal the radical inventiveness and lasting relevance of her incisive work with pictures and words.
