TRNK presents PROVENANCED, an exhibition of contemporary designs that reference African, Indigenous, and ancient aesthetics. From the 20th century modernist art movement (i.e Picasso, Matisse, Giacometti) to turn-of-the-century Art Deco design (i.e. Victor Courtray, Pierre Legrain), African and Indigenous works have forever evolved Western design language. Despite this enormous influence, rarely can we collectively speak to the historical significance of these references. Influences have either gone unacknowldeged, or have become abstracted to the point of anonymity.
