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. Continuing the Contemporary Museum's tradition of presenting installations which respond to specific locations, it is on view in both the gallery setting of the Museum and the non-traditional exhibition space of the Rymland Room at the Peabody Conservatory of Music. The three artists included in Making Sense use recognizable, even familiar images and objects. Ellen Gallagher includes racially-charged or racist symbols from popular culture; Christian Marclay deploys all kinds of music paraphernalia in making his work; and Liliana focuses on using children's toys to explore deeper meaning in everyday objects.
