Speaking Parts: Conversations between Works in the Collection

How do museums decide what artworks to choose for the permanent collection? The process is complex, but at its most basic, the works in the collection need to relate to each other in a variety of ways. "Speaking Parts" explores this concept through a selection of works from the museum’s collection organized around a mixed-media construction by Northwest artist Dennis Evans. All other artworks in the gallery relate to this work in at least one way.
