SALEM, MA.- The Peabody Essex Museum presents Island Thresholds Contemporary Art from the Caribbean, through June 5, 2005. The Peabody Essex Museum presents Island Thresholds, Contemporary Art from the Caribbean, an exhibition that brings together four internationally-known artists from the Caribbean: David Boxer (Jamaica), Tony Capellán (Dominican Republic), Kcho (Cuba), and Marc Latamie (Martinique/USA). These artists are as distinct and varied in their approach to their art and use of media as the nations they represent, yet their work is linked by a common theme in the exhibition: the sea as a site of power and its complex role in shaping individual and cultural identity. Island Thresholds is composed of 13 artworks, including large-scale installations using an array of materials-from wood, glass, paper, seawater, and salvaged shoes, to coffee, cocoa, and vanilla-as well as paintings and drawings. The works were made between 1992 and 2004 and include installations made specifically for this exhibition.
