TOLEDO – InSight: Contemporary Sensory Works is now on exhibit at the Toledo Museum of Art.
The exhibit in the Canaday Gallery and Galleries 8 and 9 features works by Magdalene Odundo, Aminah
Robinson and Pinaree Sanpitak.
The 15 objects in the show include a room-sized installation containing about 3,600 origami objects that
engage the viewer’s multiple senses.
Thai conceptual artist Pinaree Sanpitak’s "Anything Can Break," which was recently shown at the
Biennale of Sydney in Aytraia, consists of origami cubes hanging from the ceiling, dotted with
"clouds" shaped like breasts and lit with fiber optics. Motion sensors trigger a variety of
sounds in response to the movement of people below.
Kenyan-born British artist Magdalene Odundo creates  ceramic vessels reminiscent of the curves of the
human form. Their smooth silhouettes belie the hand-built coil techniques she uses to mold her
thin-walled vases and pots into clean, bold shapes.
Using found objects and everyday materials like buttons, cloth and twigs, Aminah Robinson constructs two-
and three-dimensional works inspired by the community of her native Poindexter Village in Columbus,
Ohio. The artist, storyteller and visual historian reflects on themes of family and ancestry in her
prints and sculptural books.
The exhibit continues through Jan. 4.
