The San Jose Museum of Art will present recent work by five international artists who address humanity’s conflicted relationship with water in a new exhibition this spring. The Darkened Mirror: Global Perspectives on Water, on view April 7 – August 27, 2017, will include works by Vibha Galhotra, Gerco de Ruijter, Khvay Samnang, Jesper Just, and Amy Balkin. In their videos and installation work, these artists address such themes as water access and ownership in Cambodia; agricultural irrigation in the American Southwest; the ethical implications of desert settlements; river pollution in India; and the physical and political impact of climate change locally and globally.
