‘‘Curtain,’’ by Yohanna M. Roa, in the group show “Second Time Around,’’ at the Jamestown (R.I.) Arts Center, through June 15.
The curator says:
‘‘‘Second Time Around’ brings together contemporary works that reimagine past stories, memories, objects, materials, images, and artistic practices in ways that further their meaning for the present and future. The exhibition scope emerged in conversation surrounding the change of seasons and the practice of cleaning out of one’s closet. This yearly ritual involves revisiting artifacts that contain the traces of personal histories and passing them on to new owners who will give them new life. Considered in relation to the urgent need to promote everyday practices of sustainability at the local level, this deceptively mundane custom takes on much greater significance for our world now.’’
