Exhibition Overview

The Alper Initiative for Washington Art presents a group exhibition curated by Megan Rook-Koepsel, Performing the Border. The borders that separate people and things are constantly changing, and quite often completely arbitrary, yet the importance placed on them would seem to suggest otherwise. Featuring Washington artists Clay Dunklin, Amy Lin, Susana Raab, Jenny Wu, and Street Light Circus, Performing the Border explores the concept of borders and boundaries, both the ways we perform within them, and the way the border is often itself a performance.
