Double Exposure: Pairs, Sets, and Twins from the Permanent Collection
Leech Gallery, The Wriston Art Center
Opens November 17. 2000

From Hegel's dialectical model of progress to present day art historians' use of double projection in the classroom, binary comparisons have been employed frequently in modern western culture. While limited and often artificially oppositional, such comparative studies help to reveal both similarities among and distinctions between ideas and objects. Double Exposure: Pairs, Sets, and Twins from the Permanent Collection is one such study.

Whether addressing the mythic aspects of twins, seeking to emphasize family resemblance, or simply dealing with the formal exercise of arranging two figures in space, a number of works in the Wriston's permanent collection have doubling and repetition as a prominent feature. The variety of examples offers a chance for both serious study and playful speculation.
