Crimes of Omission

April 20 - August 5, 2007

A "crime of omission" is defined as the failure to act upon a legal duty or responsibility. In this exhibition, the title refers to artistic strategies that remove visual traces of a crime or draw attention to injustices that typically go unnoticed. Viewers may initially overlook the criminal references in the works, allowing them to have an extended engagement with these contemporary artworks that will be presented as open-ended questions rather than foregone conclusions. "Crimes of Omission" will be on view in Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania's Project Space from April 20- August 5, 2007.
