Dwelling: New Acquisitions showcases recent acquisitions to the Cantor Arts Center’s collection and explores how these works expand our understanding of home. This exhibition highlights that home can be more than just a physical space; it can also be a familial tradition, a challenging reality, or the inner world of one’s own mind and body. By offering diverse perspectives and experiences, this grouping of works suggests that art itself can serve as a meaningful dwelling place.

Titled after a blanket sculpture by artist Marie Watt that anchors the exhibition, Dwelling also includes works by artists Pacita Abad, Amanda Ba, Robert Bechtle, Katherine Bradford, Mel Chin, Ficre Ghebreyesus, Sasha Gordon, Mike Henderson, Greg Ito, Margaret Kilgallen, James Leong, Keisho Okayama, Ben Sakoguchi, Stephanie Shih, Rose B. Simpson, Joey Terrill, Rupy C. Tut, Gary Woo, and Oscar yi Hou.
