Pairs and Partners: The Road Less Traveled

The Road Less Traveled: Journeys Through Art is the third installment in our Pairs and Partners series of exhibitions.  This series invites people not usually involved in shaping exhibitions—MMFA staff and members of the community—to serve as guest curators, selecting permanent collections pairings and writing about them in accord with an assigned theme.

This Pairs and Partners theme is travel, which can be as simple as physically moving from Point A to Point B or as complex as a personal or spiritual journey leading to greater self-awareness.  These are subjects that have long fascinated many artists, but it is through each viewer’s encounter with the images that the stories come to life. In The Road Less Traveled, each guest curator picked two works that address some sort of journey and provided their own interpretation, as seen through the lens of their personal experiences.
