ima presents:
jaimini patel | carli toliver
outside-in — inside-out |
01 – 31 october 2020


intermission museum of art (ima) is proud to present in printed form a collaboration by jaimini patel and carli toliver, outside-in — inside-out, featured through october 2020 as part of ima’s inaugural volume i series.

patel and toliver bring word and image together in a way that is at once unified and disparate. a back-and-forth sequence builds within the imaginary, unfolding untold truths and exposing set fictions. responsive and provoking, outside-in — inside-out requires moments of pause, eliciting didactic spaces which form questions beyond the screen. months of reciprocal exchange, discussion, research and play upends practical studio notions and creative etceteras with a visual creation involving mixed materials and text which enter new heightened possibilities.
