Home is where Crosby's art is

A show of five works dealing with domesticity by the Nigerian-born artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby opens at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati tomorrow (15 July). Predecessors (until 1 October) includesdepictions of her grandmothers table in Nigeria, which speaks to a compelling slippage between utility, relic, symbol and apotheosis, says Steven Matijcio, the shows co-organiser. The exhibition travels to the Tang Museum at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs later this year.
