Like Water

An international and multigenerational group of artists will take over the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis for Like Water, which considers water from different angles – from fonts of inspirations to floods of emotion and the Middle Passage to the Mississippi River.

Pouring out their truths and filling the museum with paintings, sculptures, videos and more, each artist approaches the subject of water in deeply individual ways. Through ideas and stories that have been shaped by this life-sustaining element, Like Water encourages viewers to reflect on water’s emotional and poetic resonances as well as the changing cultural, ecological and sociopolitical ecosystems in which we circulate.
