WHOSMUSEUM presents the “Visual Language of Modernity” at the Sasse Museum

January 16, 2025 By Debra Disman


I am honored to participate in the upcoming exhibition:

“Visual Language of Modernity” is visioned to be a resourceful group exhibition showcasing contemporary artworks by international artists. The artworks have been chosen to provide a unique lens at the complexities and modernity of multi-cultural backgrounds and identities in globalization and diaspora. The exhibition will showcase a wide range of art forms, medias and materials, from traditional techniques to digital work and installation art. The exhibition has been designed to reflect the multi-aspects of modern creation.

In collaboration with Whosmuseum and Sasse Museum of Art, the “Visual Language of Modernity” will take place in the  Sasse Museum of Art located in the diverse-cultural Downtown Pomona Arts Colony at 300 S. Thomas St., Pomona.
The exhibition will run from February 1st to February 22nd, 2025.

“Visual Language of Modernity,” a juried exhibition masterfully curated by Shuai Xu, emerges as a groundbreaking showcase of contemporary artworks that challenges our understanding of identity in an increasingly interconnected world. This international exhibition brings together artists whose works navigate the complex intersection of tradition, displacement, and cultural evolution in our globalized society.” —Sasse Museum of Art

The local art community and world-wide art lovers are encouraged to experience this dynamic exploration of  art, culture, and aesthetic presentations emerging from multi-cultural artists’ communities, their artistic languages integrated with innovation and modernity.

I am pleased to be showing:

“Concurrencies I: Charlotte Salomon Eva Hesse”
, 2022, 58 x 19.5″, denim, varnish, hemp cord, gold thread

I am looking forward to seeing all the other works in the show, and how they work together, I am sure, in good company.
