Thresholds looked to a process of collecting and of working with collections, where artworks can exist as portals to an ever-expanding world of unexpected sites and unanticipated tangents. A place of divergent wormholes traveling through the joy, pain, and weirdness of space and time.

This exhibition brought a number of new acquisitions to the Museum collection into conversation with works that represented the collection’s longstanding strengths.
