Experience an innovative all-video exhibition entitled “Cross-Currents in Recent Video Installation: Water as Metaphor for Identity” at the Harn Museum of Art. This exhibition presents recent video installations by five international artists with ties to Africa. The artworks are large-scale and some works contain unique sculptural components—one being a pool of water below the screen to reflect the video image and the other a layer of soil with inscribed words. Each work uses water as a symbol for many concepts including family, identity, violence and spiritual transformation. On view through Sept. 7, 2008. Free admission. www.harn.ufl.edu
