Here and Elsewhere

Here and Elsewhere

by Addoley Dzegede

Exhibition Dates: April through November 2018

Location: Terminal 2 between gates E10 and E12

St. Louis artist Addoley Dzegede merged international symbology, patterns, and color from around the world for a 12 ft.-wide silkscreened pigment on cloth work that was inspired by the artist’s post-graduate apprenticeship at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia in 2015. She explored a 5-block radius around the museum to select motifs found in architecture to create a repeat pattern. However, she used a color palette commonly used in Dutch Wax prints that pays homage to Dutch, Indonesian and West African textiles. This was the largest installation of Here and Elsewhere; smaller sections have been on exhibition at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia.
