About allTURNatives: Form + Spirit 2009

This exhibition celebrates the Center’s 14th year of hosting the International Turning Exchange Residency (ITE) program hosted this year at Moore College of Art & Design.  The ITE residents convene here and work, travel and research for 2 months to personally and collectively develop new directions for their work. The allTURNatives exhibit is multi-disciplinary and reflects each resident’s experience through objects and materials produced before and during the residency.  Three-dimensional works are accompanied by photos, essays and other documentation depicting their singular and joint summer away from home.
