Subject: Speaking Parts has a Japanese print rotation

 

Hello everyone,

An update from Curatorial on the Speaking Parts exhibition:

 

We have rotated out the two Japanese woodblock prints to minimize their exposure to light, and replaced them with two different Japanese prints. The checklist is updated to reflect the changes. To keep them easy to find, the Japanese print rotation is now a running list at the bottom of the checklist.

 

Just let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

Zoe
