Carl E. Hazlewood: Infinite Passage
On view through July 6, 2025
Brattleboro Museum & Art Center
Brattleboro, Vermont
www.Brattleboromuseum.org
This exhibition is a partially site-specific project that considers the historical origins of the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center building. The former train station embodies the idea of movement, which Carl E. Hazlewood calls “an inescapable part of our existence,” specifically as it relates to the movement of enslaved Africans from the continent of Africa to the Americas.
“Infinite Passage” contains a diverse body of artwork: drawing, painting, and site-specific works. The exhibition positions Hazlewood’s artwork as conceptual guide and a form of inquiry, focusing on ideas of landscape, the aforementioned movement, the trickster figure of African diaspora folklore known as Anansi, and seeing paintings as constructions.
