A Month of Sundays
Think about how you experience time. Are there moments that slow down and stretch? Or do they happen as quickly as the blink of an eye? The southern turn of phrase, “a month of Sundays,” suggests a prolonged period of time.
A Month of Sundays: Art and the Persistence of Time explores the concept of time through modern and contemporary works of art in a wide range of media, including craft, video, painting, drawing, and sculpture by nearly fifty artists.
The Mid-South Cohort, a multi-year, multi-institutional exhibition partnership formed by the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, the Birmingham Museum of Art, Fisk University Art Gallery, and the Mississippi Museum of Art, is made possible by the Art Bridges Cohort Program. This exhibition was organized by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts.
