"Not On View: Closed For Restoration: MET" by Cassidy Skillman

$850.00
Only 1 available

Sculpture

The ongoing reduction woodcut series, “Closed for Restoration,” as well as their lithographic photomontage forms are a critique of the lack of transparency behind the leading art institutions in the United States; beginning with New York. Housed in a sculpture titled “Not On View” these works focus on researching and restoring institutional arrangements within the arts. Hidden beyond fine art, museums can be an aesthetic front to massive investments from arguably corrupt systems such as extraction, detention facilities and art crimes. The Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) has a reputation that is bound to colonialism, war crimes and further to the addictive Big Pharma. It is an institution with a following that holds its capitalist power over cultural heritage by buying into provocative provenances and slowly contributing to rightful repatriations. While the museum is Closed For Restoration, a landslide of looted antiquities that were once lost are now found at the MET.
