SPACES OF LIFE: THE ART OF SONYA RAPOPORT
Exhibition curated by Terri Cohn and Anuradha Vikram, 18 January‒11  
March 2012, at Mills College Art Museum, Oakland, CA, U.S.A. Opening  
reception on 18 January 2012, 6:00‒8:00 P.M. The art of Sonya  
Rapoport has long operated as a bridge between the public sphere of  
intellectual curiosity and scholarship and the domestic one of  
spiritual inquiry and nurturing. Spaces of Life presents a group of  
Rapoport's interactive works, created between 1980‒2011, that  
function in the intersection between questioning and inviting. The  
installation is structured so as to infuse the spaces of the museum  
with the energy of the artist's Berkeley home and studio. Find out more
