SynopsisIn a creative and thoughtful manner, this exhibition contributes to the diverse, ongoing discussions concerning national identity. Framed by the iconography of the 'stars and stripes¿, ¿Old Glory¿ draws together the work of more than 50 artists. The range of approaches extend from being thoughtful or celebratory of the emblematic form of 'Old Glory¿, to including artists who use the symbolic elements of the flag to present troubling or provocative imagery. The exhibition surveys material from 1950s through to the early 1990¿s, and is carefully selected to represent the variety of viewpoints and esthetic forms that can invoke or suggest the pluralistic, frequently discordant cultural and political life of the late 20th century in the U.S.A. Over 65 illustrations.
