Tate Liverpool presents Thresholds, an exhibition on view 15 September 2012–7 April 2013.
Also shown at Tate Liverpool as part of Liverpool Biennial 2012: Unexpected Guest is Thresholds, an exhibition that questions the boundaries of personal, geographical, political and cultural identities and the shifting and permeable nature of such boundaries. The exhibition addresses the instability, not only of immigrant or host identities, national and ethnic identities, but also of the questions of identity within and beyond the realm of art. Drawn from the Tate Collection, which is itself a host of creative processes with its own laws of hospitality, Thresholds looks at the ways of understanding what art means in a wider realm of culture and society where hegemonic power structures and changing political and economic environments become the fabric of art rather than a mere context. Artists include Gilbert & George, Mark Wallinger, Eugenio Dittborn, Sophie Calle, Thomas Hirshhorn and Kader Attia amongst many other.
Curated by Sook-Kyung Lee, Exhibitions & Displays Curator, with Eleanor Clayton, Assistant Curator, Tate Liverpool.
