Exhibitions

This new invitational program at the Davis is designed to engage artists in transforming the dramatic expanse of floor-to-ceiling, ground-level windows that articulate the lobby of our signature Rafael Moneo building and its courtyard plaza.

Art_Latin_America: Against the Survey highlights works of modern and contemporary Latin American and Latino art in the permanent collection of the Davis Museum, formed over the past 20-plus years.

This exhibition explores howMilton and Anne Rogovin built on the legacy of social documentary photography in the United States and expanded the potential of the medium to reach and affect audiences, as well as their subjects.

Disappearances features video work from the past decade by three leading Latin American artists, all of whom refer metaphorically to those who have vanished because of state crimes and political violence.

Tabitha Soren’s Surface Tension intervenes into our cool, disembodied, transactional relationships with digital devices—and meddles with the “neutrality” of the information we receive through them.

Yinka Shonibare’s works in the Davis collection exemplify his theatrical depictions of beauty and violence, and his exploration of the inheritances of colonialism in our contemporary, globalized world.
