DUE SOUTH
A Global Dialogue

Jan 28, 2017 - Apr 30, 2017

VIEW/DOWNLOAD EXHIBITION BROCHURE

The Delaware Contemporary is proud to announce this remarkable group exhibition of work by 30 accomplished artists from Italy and the United States.

Organized by Marianne Bernstein, whose boundary-crossing curatorial projects often serve as social catalysts, this three-gallery exhibition will showcase contemporary work exploring the island of Sicily.

Over the course of the past three years, the show’s diverse artists have traveled between the U.S. and Italy to collaborate and create works in response to the rich history, culture, and environment of this intriguing island.

Italian artist Flavio Favelli will create a site-specific work for the show while in residence at the museum, and special events accompanying the exhibition will feature Sicilian food and wine, film screenings, and nationally recognized guest speakers.

See images of the artists' work and a list of the show's generous sponsors at duesouth2017.com.
