Jan. 22-March 12
“Wild is the Wind” Exhibition at Pei Ling Chan Gallery
Pei Ling Chan Gallery, 322 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Savannah, GA
Paying homage to the 1957 American standard Wild is the Wind, made popular over several decades by musical icons including Johnny Mathis, David Bowie, George Michael, Cat Power and Nina Simone, this exhibition brings together a collection of recently produced work that resonates in profound ways with the enduring tune. The song lyrics make an appeal for love, intimacy, escapism and transcendence as love is like the wind, and wild is the wind. Similarly, each work in the exhibition offers poetic visual and emotive moments through the exploration of translation, fantasy, epic voyages, and deep engagements with melancholia. Artists include Ghada Amer, Lara Baladi, Kiluanji Kia Henda, Nicholas Hlobo, Odili Donald Odita, Zineb Sedira and Penny Siopis. Organized as part of the Africa on My Mind: Contemporary Art, Home and Abroad exhibition series held in conjunction with SCADs third biennial art history symposium. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
