Making Sense

Making Sense invites audiences to re-examine not only how they understand art, but also how their experiences shape the meaning of the world around them. The three artists included in Making Sense, Liliana Porter, Ellen Gallagher, and Christian Marclay, use recognizable, even familiar images and objects. Gallagher includes racially-charged or racist symbols from popular culture; Marclay deploys all kinds of music paraphernalia in making his work; and Porter focuses on using children’s toys to explore deeper meaning in everyday objects.
