'Caroline Monnet: Man-made Land' is listed for the Sandra and Gerald Fineberg Art Wall from September 25, 2025, through March 21, 2027. The listing identifies the presentation by Monnet’s name and gives the work’s title, venue, opening date, and closing date.
Its site-responsive format is presented in relation to the institution’s harbor-edge location, as stated in the description of the installation.
Monnet uses commercial building materials such as Tyvek, plastic, and foil insulation to evoke Boston’s land reclamation and Anishinaabeg designs. The materials named for the installation are Tyvek, plastic, and foil insulation, each identified as a commercial building material in the description. That description connects their use with two subjects: Boston’s land reclamation and Anishinaabeg designs.
The installation accompanies 'An Indigenous Present,' a thematic exhibition spanning 100 years of contemporary Indigenous art. The exhibition is described as thematic and as covering a century of contemporary Indigenous art.
Caroline Monnet is Algonquin-Anishinaabe and French and was born in 1985 in Ottawa, Ontario. 'Man-made Land' is organized by Jeffrey Gibson and Jenelle Porter, guest curators, with Erika Umali, Curator of Collections, and Max Gruber, Curatorial Assistant.
