10:00 AM - 6:00 PM, March 3



Xaviera Simmons: Accumulations
Light Work Gallery

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Light Work and Urban Video Project are proud to present concurrent exhibitions featuring the work of Xaviera Simmons, whose multidisciplinary artistic practice includes photography, sculpture, installation, sound art, video, and performance. "Accumulations" will be on view at Light Work through March 5 and "Number Sixteen" will be on view at UVP Everson through January 31.

"Accumulations" presents a group of large-scale, graphic photographic prints. At first glance, the images emerge as a series of complex and abstract collages. Closer inspection reveals a shaman-like figure: a skirt pulled over the face and a barrage of objects hanging from the body. Fabric, photos, feathers, palm fronds and other small things tumble across the center of the photographs; composing an explosion referent to race, culture, gender and sexuality. "Accumulations" works to both obscure and define identity.
