Father Country I Do Love You

This major exhibition premieres a new body of work by Taryn Simon. The project will bring together never-before-seen photographs, text, videos, and sculptures in a singular, interactive installation filling the entire Rotunda.

Simon is widely recognized for her storytelling, which directs our attention to the whispers and unseen forces shaping the worlds we inhabit. On view during the 250th anniversary of the United States, her new project will gather a massive constellation of images around a sweeping narrative that spirals through the space. Visitors will choose their own pathways through the whirlwind Simon has assembled.

This exhibition is organized by Nat Trotman, Curator, Performance and Media.

Major support for Taryn Simon is provided by Arison Arts Foundation, The Hearthland Foundation, Almine Rech, and Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso.
