The Anne Reid ’72 Gallery at Princeton Day School presents “an explorer, a tracer of lost tribes, a seeker of clues to feelings,” an exhibition of stop-motion animation by Carrie Hawks, Gabrielle Tesfaye and Jordan Wong.
The exhibit opens Jan. 9 at the gallery at 650 Great Road, Princeton, N.J. A planned public reception will take place from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Jan. 19, featuring work by Carrie Hawks, Gabrielle Tesfaye and Jordan Wong. The exhibit will run from Jan. 9 to March 24.
The show takes its title from the poem “A Remembrance of Ritual” by Betye Saar in Serious Moonlight, the accompanying catalog to rarely-seen installation work shown at ICA Miami in 2022.
Akin to Saar, Hawks, Tesfaye and Wong incorporate a wide range of found and created materials into their artwork. This exhibition features films made with fabric, hair, drawn and painted puppets, and natural matter such as leaves and bark. Each film is sensitive, serious, intimate and personal – inviting viewers to witness and relate to themes of identity, ancestry, mythology and the body.
