Aspen Art Museum

Stories We Tell Ourselves is an exhibition that unfolds over time, as sequential chapters that explore the relationship of art and language. Presented in various locations throughout the museum, the show reflects on a distinguished history of artists who have used language as a medium—dissecting letters, words, and texts and displaying them as objects. An exhibition that, like a novel, travels across time and space, Stories We Tell Ourselves brings to light narratives shaped by literature, history, and current events, highlighting the role that storytelling plays within our sense of place.
