"Interrupt: A Collision of Stories and Cultures" In the vast tapestry of history, moments of interruption often reveal unexpected narratives. From Plate 365's captivating image of Headspring, where a flying pigeon interferes with the scene, to Portrait Studies capturing the essence of an ex-President interrupted in thought, interruptions shape our understanding. The Parnell Commission engraving highlights how even legal proceedings are not immune to disruption. Meanwhile, Native Americans Intrude on multiple occasions throughout this collection, reminding us that their stories have been repeatedly silenced and overlooked. From Much Ado About Nothing's title page to Monuments Gypsum watercolor canvas depicting fragments frozen in time, interruptions can be both jarring and beautiful. Holy Telemachus interrupts a gladiatorial combat while Saint faces stoning – these disruptions challenge societal norms and question our values. Argentina's Buenos Aires Cups hint at conversations abruptly halted or diverted by unexpected encounters. In another corner of the world, a Russian soldier protests as two Japanese soldiers interrupt his path - illustrating how conflicts disrupt lives on personal levels too. Yet amidst all these interruptions lies Music at Home blending with conversation; it is a reminder that interruptions can also bring harmony and new perspectives. As we explore Coming Home Again through various mediums, we realize that sometimes life itself is an interruption - constantly shifting our paths and forcing us to adapt. In this diverse collection spanning centuries and continents, "Interrupt" emerges as more than just a word but rather an invitation to embrace disruptions as catalysts for growth and understanding.
