BAGGAGE CLAIMS
Orlando Museum of Art, Orlando, Florida
Proposal 2017Project 2017
Completion 2017
R+L worked with curators, C2 (curatorsquared), and the Orlando Museum of Art to develop display concepts for this traveling exhibition which explores the meaning of baggage, both physical and psychological, in the context of globalization and its impact on cultural identity. Baggage Claims includes works by artists from the US and abroad that use objects such as trunks, suitcases, luggage and crates as vehicles to dissect issues of immigration and nationalism and their effect on international policy and discourse. A series of simple, easy-to-travel rubber floor mats referencing conveyance systems sets off the works, demarks a safe perimeter around them and hosts didactic text.
The exhibition opened September 15, 2017 at the Orlando Museum of Art and travels to the Weatherspoon Art Museum at University of North Carolina, the Robert C. Peeler Art Center at DePauw University, and the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota.
