Cecilia Vicuña’s Disappeared Quipu features projected images of textiles that Vicuña chose from our ancient Andean collections, also on view alongside the installation. ⇨ Spanning more than 1400 years, these garments illustrate the great weaving traditions of the Nasca (100–600), Wari (600–1000), Chimú (1100–1400), and Inca (1400–1532) cultures. Like the quipus, these textiles are a way of recording and conveying information. These works complement Vicuña’s installation by connecting the past to the present and honoring an important indigenous artistic tradition. See them on through Nov 25. Installation view, Cecilia Vicuña: Disappeared Quipu, Brooklyn Museum, May 18, 2018 through November 25, 2018. ⇨ Wari artist. Tunic, 600–800.
