Dust Specks on the Sea.
Contemporary Sculpture From The French Caribbean and Haiti.
Curated by Arden Sherman. Curatorial Assistance by Katie Hood Morgan and Marie Vickles.
Dust Specks on the Sea focuses on sculptural works by over a dozen contemporary artists from Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, and Haiti and addresses the various positionings of the postcolonial condition in this region. The exhibition’s title—Dust Specks on the Sea—is derived from a quote by former French President Charles de Gaulle, describing his view of the French Caribbean islands from an airplane in 1964.
The exhibition brings to life the slippages of past and present manifest in Carpentier’s text through a dynamic grouping of contemporary artworks, each of which responds to the novel’s vivid and violent descriptions of colonial enslavement and the struggle for Black freedom and nation.
