Home Is a Foreign Place: Recent Acquisitions in Context will present a diverse group of paintings, sculptures, installations, and videos made between 1944 and 2016 that explore artistic engagements with language, architecture, space, seriality, politics, and media. Highlighting recent acquisitions from Latin America, South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, alongside existing icons of American art from The Met's collection, this thematic installation asks viewers to reconsider what it means to make a home in the world, whether by chance, necessity, or choice.
