Video Discription |
Megan Altieri's new exhibition, Sonder: The Art of Empathy Through Eavesdropping, realizes that everyone, including strangers passing by on the street, has a life as vivid and complex as one’s own.
Have you ever considered the intricate nature of every person you encounter? This can occur when we witness a first date at a coffee shop or notice someone sobbing on the train. These intricacies constantly surround us: whether in the smiles of strangers or the pains of a passerby, the world is rife with human emotion, triumph, suffering, humor, and complexity.
Over the past two years, artist and educator Megan Altieri has gathered fragments of overheard conversations and hand-stamped them on articles of clothing matching those of the speaker. Sonder features these conversational moments, seeking to help us grasp the beautiful complexities of humanity by allowing a momentary escape from our own lens. In exchange for our perspective, we are offered a truer understanding of our identity as a dot among a sea of dots.
Sonder gained recognition from the public at ArtPrize when viewers immediately connected with the humanity of this work, warranting the ‘18 ArtPrize Installation Public Vote Award. The Saugatuck Center for the Arts is excited to be the first location to debut Sonder since its success at ArtPrize.
Our hope with bringing Sonder to the SCA is to foster conversation about human complexity and the power of empathy. True to the definition of the word, Sonder illustrates the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as our own. In our awareness of even a single other person we begin to grasp the magnitude of the 7.6 billion coexisting realities all as specific and important as one another. Displaying these garments on a series of clotheslines illustrates nakedness and openness, encouraging viewers to embrace vulnerability. |
