THE KEEPER

07/20/16-10/02/16

This exhibition encompassed a multi-floor presentation dedicated to the act of preserving objects, artworks, and images.

The centerpiece of this exhibition was Partners (The Teddy Bear Project) (2002), a vast display composed of over 3,000 family-album photographs of people posing with teddy bears, and vitrines containing antique teddy bears, conceived by Ydessa Hendeles. Hendeles’s project establishes the teddy bear as a metaphor for the consolatory power of artworks and images and underscores the symbiotic relationship that ties people to their objects of affection.
