Notes/ Provenance:
Location: Rosenbach Museum, Philadelphia, July 8-September 28, 2003. Cities Without Citizens, curated by artist Aaron Levy of Slought Foundation, juxtaposes historical materials from the Rosenbach collections with contemporary works to examine the cities, settlements and peoples of early America and illuminate how our nation's past connects with contemporary life. As a commentary on art, archiving and human rights, the exhibition re-indexes Rosenbach holdings according to four social parameters--settlement, citizenship, discipline, and liquidation. More information on the exhibition and accompanying publication is available below.
