Contributed by D. Dominick Lombardi / The 2023 Providence Biennial for Contemporary Art, titled “Curating Commemoration: Poesis/Remedy,” is presented in two related exhibitions in the WaterFire Arts Center, a large, beautifully converted US Rubber Company manufacturing facility originally built in 1929. In keeping with the enterprise’s original mission of infusing high-end curation and presentation with the outsider spirit of the local Providence scene, the exhibition features a rich, wide range of work, from performance, music and design to photography, sculpture and painting.
