SUMMARY:Streaming: Sculpture by Christy Rupp
DESCRIPTION:Understood as one of the early pioneers in the field of ecological art activism\, the artist\, activist and thought-leader Christy Rupp has an international reputation. Streaming will feature a survey of Rupp’s intricate collages\, wall installations and free-standing sculpture\, which chronicle the ongoing tension between natural systems and the environment in transition\, and call our attention to our interconnectedness with non-humans and habitat – transmuting detritus gathered from the waste stream through collage and sculpture to reveal what is hidden away from common view and understanding. Informed by science and the historical representation of natural history\, the artwork in this exhibition examines the way we frame our opinions of nature\, using irony and wit to represent the human impact on our natural habitat. This exhibition in the Walsh Gallery located at Fairfield University opens Thursday\, January 18th and runs through Saturday\, April 27th\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: “Southbury: The German-American Bund Dream for Connecticut”
DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually for a special lecture by author Arnie Bernstein! \nArnie Bernstein will discuss his book Swastika Nation: Fritz Kuhn and the Rise and Fall of the German-American Bund\, which chronicles the history of the pro-Nazi movement\, German–American Bund\, and its leader Fritz Kuhn during the 1930s. Bernstein has been featured on various international media outlets and nationally on MSNBC\, C-SPAN Book TV\, PBS\, and the National Geographic Channel. \nPlease note: This event is virtual only and will be live streamed via thequicklive.com \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Department of History at Fairfield University\, and is in conjunction with the exhibition In Real Times. Arthur Szyk: Artist and Soldier for Human Rights\, on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries from September 29-December 16\, 2023.  \nDon’t miss Szyk: The Interactive Experience in the Walsh Gallery in the Quick Center for the Arts. \n  \nAbout the exhibition: \nThis special exhibition\, organized around the theme of human rights features more than 50 works by acclaimed Polish Jewish miniaturist and political cartoonist Arthur Szyk (1899-1951)\, including political cartoons\, and images that honor the power and importance of democratic ideals. A witness to the rise of totalitarianism in Europe\, Szyk emigrated from London to America at the beginning of World War II. He lived and worked in Connecticut\, and passed away in New Canaan in 1951. His powerful political cartoons animated the covers of magazines such as Time and Collier’s\, raising awareness of the plight of European Jews and helping sway public opinion toward support for American participation in the Second World War. As a self-described “soldier in art\,” Szyk’s work was acclaimed by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt as a potent weapon “against Hitlerism.” He advocated for religious tolerance\, racial equality\, and human dignity. Active in the years leading up to World War II and during the Holocaust\, Szyk became one of America’s most celebrated political artists for his powerful artistic and social contributions against Nazism and fascism. As our communities continue to confront issues of structural racism and social upheaval — including the sharp rise in antisemitic rhetoric and violence across the United States— this exhibition provides a platform for conversations on the urgent topics of human rights and social justice. \nhttps://www.fairfield.edu/museum/szyk/

SUMMARY:Virtual Art in Focus: Norma Minkowitz\, “Goodbye Goddess”
DESCRIPTION:Our Virtual Art in Focus series offers the opportunity for a close look at a single work of art\, all from the comfort of your home! \nJoin us for a discussion of “Goodbye Goddess\,” a mixed-media work by Norma Minkowitz and part of the temporary exhibition “Norma Minkowitz: Body to Soul\,” on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries from January 27 – April 6\, 2023. Bring your questions and observations to our virtual discussion! \nPlease note: This event is virtual only. If you are interested in the in-person Art in Focus on Thursday\, March 2 at 11 a.m.\, click here! \nAbout the exhibition: “Norma Minkowitz: Body to Soul” is a solo exhibition surveying the artist’s four-decade engagement with the physical and symbolic properties of thread. Minkowitz reinvents traditional needlework by crocheting fantastical forms\, coating them in resin and shellac to create rigid sculptures and hangings. The delicate\, mesh-like surfaces of her artworks break down oppositions between soft and hard\, inside and outside\, body and soul. \nThe poetic title “Body to Soul” is borrowed from just one of the sculptures that will be on view\, but it is a broader theme that reverberates across the exhibition’s selection of over thirty vessels\, sculptures\, wall hangings\, wearables\, and works on paper – including never-before-seen examples coming from the artist’s studio. \nNorma Minkowitz lives and works in Connecticut. Her work is represented in private and public collections across the United States and internationally. She is unique among fiber artists creating hard sculptures from soft materials\, and for using thread to invoke universal themes of mortality\, memory\, nature\, and writing. The exhibition is guest curated by Sarah Parrish PhD.\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Plymouth State University\, New Hampshire. \nhttps://www.fairfield.edu/museum/norma-minkowitz/ \nImage: Norma Minkowitz\, “Goodbye Goddess\,” 2003\, paint and resin on fiber.

SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop: Chinese Calligraphy with He Jiancheng
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual workshop with artist He Jiancheng! \nArtist He Jiancheng demonstrates the ancient Chinese art of calligraphy in this workshop\, presented live from the artist’s studio in China. He Jiancheng’s artworks are on view in the Walsh Gallery in the exhibition SEEING IS BELIEVING: Crossings and Transpositions\, Part II (January 21-March 5\, 2022). \nPlease note: this event is streaming only.  \nAbout SEEING IS BELIEVING: CROSSINGS AND TRANSPOSITIONS\, PART II: This exhibition\, organized by Professor of Studio Art Jo Yarrington\, features work by five contemporary Chinese artists: He Jiancheng\, Xiao Yao Ning\, Luo Biwu\, Zuo Zeng Yao and Zhang Zeng Min. Yarrington travelled to China in 2019 with four other American artists\, where they presented Part I of this international exchange. \nAbout ink/stone: This exhibition presents works by Chinese artists from the 20th and 21st centuries who engage with ink and stone as materials\, subjects\, and concepts. Employing a range of techniques and media\, the artists make diverse points of contact with older Chinese artistic traditions. Some embrace the emphasis on ink brushstrokes on paper or silk to render mountainous landscapes or rock forms; others incorporate media and styles usually associated with western painting: oil on canvas\, or gouache and watercolor. Yet others use photography\, industrial processes of fabrication\, or create conceptual and performance art. The contemporary works are shown together with older stone objects such as Buddhist steles\, a scholar’s rock\, and inkstones\, which provide historical touchpoints for the artists’ reinterpretations of these forms and media. The exhibition is curated by Ive Covaci\, PhD\, Adjunct Professor of Art History at Fairfield University.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour: Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual tour of our exhibition which will be on view in the Walsh Gallery September 18 – December 18\, 2021! \nPlease visit the Eventbrite page to select tickets then watch this event live via https://quickcenter.fairfield.edu/thequicklive/ \nJoin Dalila Scruggs\, PhD for a virtual tour of Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects. Scruggs served as Curator of Programs for the exhibition\, and is Educator and Curator at the Brooklyn Museum. \nAbout the exhibition: In Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects\, Weems focuses on the humanity denied in recent killings of black men\, women\, and children by police. She directs our attention to the constructed nature of racial identity—specifically\, representations that associate black bodies with criminality. Our imaginings have real—often deadly—outcomes. Blocks of color obscure faces just as our assumptions around race obscure individual humanity. Through a formal language of blurred images\, color blocks\, stated facts\, and meditative narration\, Weems directs our attention toward the repeated pattern of judicial inaction—the repeated denials and the repeated lack of acknowledgement. \nThis exhibition is organized by LSU Museum of Art in collaboration with LSU College of Art + Design\, and LSU School of Art. At the Fairfield University Art Museum\, this exhibition is made possible by the generous support of the #UNLOAD Foundation. The Mary and Eliza Freeman Center for History and Community is a community partner for the museum’s programming this fall. Learn more about the exhibition here.

SUMMARY:Art in Focus: Roberto Lugo\, "Vengo dal Ghetto: AOC"
DESCRIPTION:Our virtual Art in Focus series offers the opportunity for a close look at a single work of art! \nPlease visit the Eventbrite page to select tickets then watch this event live via https://quickcenter.fairfield.edu/thequicklive/ \nDrop in to the Bellarmine Hall Galleries Tuesday – Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to check out this piece in Roberto Lugo: New Ceramics. What do you want to know? Send your questions to Michelle DiMarzo\, Curator of Education and Academic Engagement (mdimarzo@fairfield.edu) and then join the virtual conversation! \nAbout the exhibition: Self-described “ghetto potter” Roberto Lugo uses porcelain\, a medium traditionally reserved for the wealthy\, to explore inequality and racial and social justice. His work often takes familiar shapes drawn from European and Asian ceramic traditions\, including ginger jars\, amphorae\, and teapots\, but their hand-painted surfaces take inspiration from street art and feature contemporary iconography\, including celebrations of Black and Latino figures. A number of the pieces in this exhibition\, which features all-new work\, also incorporate gun parts from decommissioned handguns obtained in a Connecticut gun buyback sponsored by #UNLOAD Foundation. \nThis exhibition is made possible by the generous support of the #UNLOAD Foundation. The Mary and Eliza Freeman Center for History and Community is a community partner for the museum’s programming this fall. Learn more about the exhibition here.

SUMMARY:Virtual Gallery Talk: Robert Gerhardt
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by Robert Gerhardt\, whose exhibition Mic Check is on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries September 17 – December 18! \nPlease visit the Eventbrite page to select tickets then watch this event live via https://quickcenter.fairfield.edu/thequicklive/ \nAbout the exhibition: Robert Gerhardt: Mic Check is a photography project by photojournalist and writer Robert Gerhardt\, who relied on the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag to track and document these protests in New York City over the last seven years. This remarkable body of work includes photographs of protests from 2014 through 2021\, across New York\, in massive crowds\, in rain and sun\, during night and day\, in motion during marches and stationary during speeches\, and in the past year in the midst of a global pandemic. These candid works capture the passion\, righteous anger\, and frustration of the protestors. The title comes from the shouts of “mic check!” which mobilized protestors into a game of repeat-after-me\, a technique that united the crowd and enabled the spread of the speaker’s comments and instructions without amplification.

DESCRIPTION:Join Fiona Garland for a special three part lecture series! \nPlease visit the Eventbrite page to purchase tickets prior to the first lecture. \nTitian was 60 years old when he first met the 21-year-old Prince Philip II\, heir to the Hapsburg Empire. Over the course of nearly 30 years\, Philip would be Titian’s most important patron\, allowing him a remarkable amount of creative freedom to realize his individual genius. From this relationship came some of the most famous works of Titian’s long career and the six mythological paintings\, known as poesie\, that are the center of the exhibition coming to the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in Boston\, Titian: Love\, Desire\, Death. \nIn this three-part lecture series\, we will examine Titian’s mythological paintings from his early years to these final works\, when he was pushing the boundaries of painting itself\, delving ever deeper into issues of love\, desire and death. \nYour ticket will be good for each lecture on October 6\, 13\, and 20.  \nA Zoom link will be sent out a week before the first lecture.

SUMMARY:Virtual Gallery Talk: Roberto Lugo
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by artist Roberto Lugo\, whose exhibition will be on view in Bellarmine Hall Galleries September 18 – December 18\, 2021! \nPlease visit the Eventbrite page to select tickets then watch this event live via https://quickcenter.fairfield.edu/thequicklive/ \nAbout the exhibition: Self-described “ghetto potter” Roberto Lugo uses porcelain\, a medium traditionally reserved for the wealthy\, to explore inequality and racial and social justice. His work often takes familiar shapes drawn from European and Asian ceramic traditions\, including ginger jars\, amphorae\, and teapots\, but their hand-painted surfaces take inspiration from street art and feature contemporary iconography\, including celebrations of Black and Latino figures. A number of the pieces in this exhibition\, which features all-new work\, also incorporate gun parts from decommissioned handguns obtained in a Connecticut gun buyback sponsored by #UNLOAD Foundation. \nThis exhibition is made possible by the generous support of the #UNLOAD Foundation. The Mary and Eliza Freeman Center for History and Community is a community partner for the museum’s programming this fall. Learn more about the exhibition here.

SUMMARY:Virtual Opening Conversation: Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this virtual opening night conversation! \nPlease visit the Eventbrite page to select tickets then watch this event live via https://quickcenter.fairfield.edu/thequicklive/ \nCourtney Taylor will discuss her experience curating Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects at the Louisiana State University Museum of Art\, where she is Curator and Director of Public Programs. She will be joined for a conversation by Dalila Scruggs\, Educator and Curator at the Brooklyn Museum. This event is part of the Edwin L. Weisl\, Jr. Lectureships in Art History\, funded by the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nAbout the exhibition: In Carrie Mae Weems: The Usual Suspects\, Weems focuses on the humanity denied in recent killings of black men\, women\, and children by police. She directs our attention to the constructed nature of racial identity—specifically\, representations that associate black bodies with criminality. Our imaginings have real—often deadly—outcomes. Blocks of color obscure faces just as our assumptions around race obscure individual humanity. Through a formal language of blurred images\, color blocks\, stated facts\, and meditative narration\, Weems directs our attention toward the repeated pattern of judicial inaction—the repeated denials and the repeated lack of acknowledgement. \nThis exhibition is organized by LSU Museum of Art in collaboration with LSU College of Art + Design\, and LSU School of Art. At the Fairfield University Art Museum\, this exhibition is made possible by the generous support of the #UNLOAD Foundation. The Mary and Eliza Freeman Center for History and Community is a community partner for the museum’s programming this fall. Learn more about the exhibition here.
