Donald Moffett: Impeachment

About the Exhibition

This exhibition is themed around a personal speech John Lewis delivered in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1998 during debate over impeachment proceedings against the president. Artist Donald Moffett (American, b. 1955) reinterprets this historic moment as an immersive sound installation, letting visitors hear Lewis's words and their resonance anew. The exhibition connects the conflict of 1998 to the context of America's 250th anniversary of independence in 2026, prompting reflection on democracy and social division. It comprises a single work and runs from June 5, 2026 to April 11, 2027. Highlights include the immersive sound experience of hearing Lewis's speech and an acoustic recreation of the House chamber.
