Through April 2010.(Bar Harbor, ME) The Abbe Museum is pleased to announce a new exhibit, titled “Look Twice” by Maliseet artist/writer Mihku Paul Anderson. This exhibit will hang in the Community Gallery of the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor until April 2010. There will be an opening reception on October 9th with a short poetry reading by Anderson included in the festivities. “Look Twice” is a mixed media, ekphrastic liason installation of historic photographs, poetry and graphic art designed to mediate and re-contextualize the experience of Native history and identity. Exhibit designer Mihku Paul Anderson is a member of Kingsclear First Nation, N.B., Canada and a graduate student in the Stonecoast MFA program. Anderson says, “I created 'Look Twice' with the goal of redirecting the visitor's objective gaze at Waponahki life and history in this region. The river motif reflects the importance of these waterways to my people, and is symbolic of time-flow, history and memory as they function to both create and maintain identity.” The prose that accompanies each image is one method of bringing history into the present moment, supporting another possible view of that history. The connection between past and present is then strengthened, and new ways of understanding history will hopefully result. For more information please visit the Abbe Museum website.
