The Third Space

2016, 2min54sec

This exhibition juxtaposes found footage of Persian rugs with images of textiles from the Five College collections. It was produced in conjunction with the digital exhibition The Third Space: Textiles in Material and Visual Culture, curated by Chelsea Miller, which explores textiles, paintings, and prints in the collections of the Five Colleges and Historic Deerfield Museum Consortium. The exhibition evokes post-colonial theorist Homi K. Bhabha’s notion of hybridity and a “Third Space” to rehistoricize the objects housed in these collections, and the collections themselves.
