Pnina was featured at the Richmond Art Gallery’s “Selected Stories” exhibition from October 28 – November 21. The exhibition celebrated the RAG’s 40th anniversary.
As the RAG states:
Any collection of art is also a collection of stories, of curatorial decisions, disagreements, and exclusions. The permanent collection tells the story of local artists, ambitious exhibition projects and a dedicated community. However, like any collection of stories this collection does not tell the unobjective truth, it reflects the decisions made by a certain group of people, during a specific period in time and it has been shaped by the exclusions and discriminations prevalent in our society. While the permanent collection illustrates the progress of the RAG from a community art space to a nationally recognized gallery, it also contains clear omissions in representation. The works included in this exhibition convey the Gallery’s progress, while also reflecting these omissions. In recognizing this we are eager to take the necessary steps toward including more stories in our collection, more stories about Richmond, about its artists and art enthusiasts, and about the next forty years of the Richmond Art gallery.
