AKRON, OH.- What’s your Pattern ID? Whether we’re aware of it or not, we all have a Pattern ID. It is revealed in the clothing we wear and the interiors with which we surround ourselves. Damask silk, Indian brocade and Burberry plaid each carry specific cultural associations. The aesthetic choices we make every day communicate subtle and not so subtle messages about who we are and where we’ve come from — our cultural identities. Pattern ID, on view at the Akron Art Museum January 23 through May 9, 2010, calls attention to the fact that cultural identity is not so clear-cut these days.
