This exhibition brings together works of premodern art from the Wyvern Collection (London, United Kingdom) with the collections of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art to explore the deep ties that linked Asia, the Near East, North Africa, and Europe from the fifth through the fifteenth centuries.
"Visions Unsettled" explores how identity has been imagined, fractured, and performed across the Hispanic world from the sixteenth century to today. The exhibition features early modern artworks alongside images by twentieth and twenty-first century photographers and in so doing considers how early interrogations of race, gender, visibility, and the gaze intersect with more contemporary meditations on ritual, marginality, and kinship.
This exhibition is the first-ever museum retrospective of drawings by Josefina Auslender, whose work in graphite, colored pencil, and ink spans decades and continents. Born in Buenos Aires in 1934, Auslender explored her passion for art from an early age before committing herself to the medium of drawing in the 1970s. "Josefina Auslender: Drawing Myself Free" features more than 100 drawings created in Argentina and the United States that collectively reflect her enduring interest in building new worlds through the visual languages of abstraction and Surrealism.
This exhibition features works by Hung Liu which adapt and subvert Maoist propaganda cartoons that were published during the 1950s. In the series, Liu revisits cartoons of her youth that were published in children's books and primers (known as "xiaorenshu"). The exhibition was organized by Georgetown University Art Galleries, and guest curated by Dr. Dorothy Moss.
