This is the fourth exhibition since 2019 in which the museum has invited students from 小蓝视频's Curatorial Practice class to look to its Corcoran Legacy Collection not only as a source of exhibition content, but as source of provocations about this content.聽Alone, Together聽explores art as a form of social connection. In today鈥檚 world, people often feel disconnected from themselves and each other 鈥 how can we change that? Presenting works by Washington area artists from 1967鈥1998, including Rebecca Davenport鈥檚 Self-Portrait, Lani Irwin鈥檚 Queen of Hearts, and William Woodward鈥檚 Promenade, the exhibition invites viewers into domestic, natural, and abstract spaces for reflection, conversation, and shared experience.
