Dec9More InformationFacing Invisibility is an exhibit by the students in ARCH 1622, “Art, Secrecy, and Invisibility in Ancient Egypt,” curated for the Joukowsky Institute by Professor Laurel Bestock. Ancient Egypt is well known for having produced large and eminently visible art and architecture. But a persistent theme in Egyptian visual culture is that of invisibility, of art made and then deliberately hidden or destroyed. The range of examples is vast and varied, suggesting a complex relationship between visibility and meaning. This exhibit explores how unseeable art intersects with themes of audience, agency, and time in ancient Egypt.
