Objects and Power is an exhibition currently running at the Institute of Contemporary Art at the Maine College of Art and Design. The exhibition examines the systems surrounding collections – how history is told and shaped through acquisition and preparation of art, artifacts and texts. Risk of erasure, questions of ownership and the giving and withholding of value are all explored.

The Institute’s Director of Exhibitions, Iris Williamson, and one of the exhibition’s artists, Maya Tihtiyas Attean, are this week’s guests.

Participating artists include:

  • Morehshin Allahyari
  • Maya Tihtiyas Attean (member of the Penobscot Nation)
  • Samuel Levi Jones
  • SaraNoa Mark
  • Nyeema Morgan
  • Gala Porras-Kim
  • Michael Rakowitz
  • Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos)
  • Stephanie Syjuco
  • William Villalongo
