SUMMARY:Opening Night Lecture: Sacred Space – A Brandywine Workshop and Archives Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 5:30 p.m. on Friday\, September 20 in the Quick Center for the Arts’ Kelley Theatre as guest curator Juanita Sunday introduces the new exhibition Sacred Space: A Brandywine Workshop and Archives Print Exhibition\, which will be on view in the Walsh Gallery through December 21. The lecture will be followed by a movement performance by Lauren Horn. \nThis event will also be livestreamed on thequicklive.com; click here to register for a reminder. \nTo register for the opening reception featuring spoken word performances by Iyaba Mandingo\, click here). \nAbout the Exhibition: Sacred Space draws on the rich history of the Brandywine Workshop and Archives\, founded in Philadelphia in 1972 by artist Allan Edmunds. As of 2023\, FUAM is home to a Brandywine “satellite collection\,” joining other institutions including Harvard Art Museums\, RISD Museum\, and the University of Delaware Museums. This exhibition features works from the Museum’s own collection as well as loans from Brandywine itself. \nSacred Space encourages a deep exploration of spiritual connection\, inviting viewers to reflect on the ancestral wisdom and memory passed down through generations. The exhibition serves as a portal into the interconnected realms of spirituality\, time\, space\, memory\, and culture. The artists pay homage to their forebears\, drawing upon cultural traditions\, rituals\, and sacred practices to honor and preserve\, as well as question\, the invaluable heritage that shapes our identities. \n“My belief is that art is best as the articulation of spiritual ideas or transformative intention. It can be an agent of spiritual inspiration or personal and social transformation.” – Michael D. Harris \nImage: Martin Payton\, Portal\, 1990\, offset lithograph.

SUMMARY:Opening Lecture: Artist Helen Glazer
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Diffley Board Room in Bellarmine Hall at 5 p.m. on Thursday\, February 1 to hear artist Helen Glazer introduce her exhibition Walking in Antarctica! Her talk is presented as part of the Edwin L. Wiesel Jr. Lectureships in Art History\, funded by the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nIn 2015\, artist Helen Glazer traveled to Antarctica as a grantee of the National Science Foundation’s Antarctic Artists and Writers Program\, in order to photograph ice and geological formations for eventual production as photographic prints and sculpture. She worked out of remote Antarctic scientific field camps and had access to protected areas that can only be entered with government permits or in the company of a skilled mountaineer. \nInspired and informed by her experiences\, Walking in Antarctica is an immersive\, interdisciplinary exhibition bringing together photography\, sculpture\, and audio narrative to take the viewer on a journey through an extraordinary environment of remote places that the tourist ships do not reach and few people get to witness in person. The exhibition is organized as a series of “walks” through remarkable Antarctic landscapes: over frozen lakes\, around towering glaciers and baroque sea ice formations\, into a magnificent frozen ice cave\, across fields of surreal-looking boulders\, and through a lively colony of nesting Adélie penguins. Visitors to the exhibition who have smartphones will be able to access an audio tour narrated by Glazer\, drawn from a blog in which she recorded her experiences. \nThrough her artwork\, Glazer strives to convey the wonder and complexity of the natural world to others\, in order to motivate a desire to protect and preserve wild places. Her study of earth science over the past several years heightened her awareness of multiple factors shaping the land over time. In recognizing that complex patterns in nature express the particular physical forces at work\, she became more attuned to the interplay between geology\, climate\, life forms\, and human activity in a given location. \nThis project is organized by Mid-America Arts Alliance and is an adaptation of the artist’s solo exhibition of the same title held at the Rosenberg Gallery at Goucher College (Baltimore\, MD) that was funded in part by grants from the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance and the Puffin Foundation. Creation of this work was made possible in part by a Rubys Artist Project Grant\, a program of the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance conceived and initiated with funding from the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation\, and by a Puffin Foundation Artist Grant. \nFaculty Liaison: Brian Walker\, PhD\, Professor of Biology \nTo learn more about the exhibition\, visit our website here. \nImage: Helen Glazer\, Fractal Arch\, Erebus Ice Tongue Cave\, Antarctica\, 2015\, archival pigment print. © Helen Glazer

SUMMARY:Opening Night Lecture: Artist Christy Rupp
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, January 18 at 5 p.m. in the Quick Center for the Arts’ Kelley Theatre for the opening lecture of Streaming: Sculpture by Christy Rupp. Artist Christy Rupp will share reflections from her decades-long career as an eco-artist. \nRupp’s talk is presented as part of the Edwin L. Wiesel Jr. Lectureships in Art History\, funded by the Robert Lehman Foundation \nAbout the exhibition: \nUnderstood 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. \nFor more information\, visit our website here. \nImage: Christy Rupp\, Aquatic Larvae\, 2020\, welded steel and collected single use plastics. © Christy Rupp
