Rachel Libeskind at Hilliard Art Museum: From March 7 – July 3, 2026
“If There Be Nothing New, But That Which Is” Rachel Libeskind
explores how we process mundane, everyday moments in an age of visual overload. Her work focuses on the quiet, overlooked experiences—like household chores or self-grooming—that we often perform on autopilot without conscious attention.
Through
large-scale collage and printmaking, Libeskind deconstructs recognizable moments and reconstructs them into new visual frameworks, creating “new recollections” that bring visibility to these overlooked rhythms of daily life.
Key influences include:
- Jacques Lacan’s theories on visual culture and unnoticed stretches of time
- 20th-century artists such as Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Barbara Kruger, and the Guerrilla Girls
The exhibition examines the limits of legibility and visibility within mundane moments, appropriating both contemporary and historical imagery to disrupt familiar narratives.
