SUMMARY:Stitching Time: Social Justice Collaboration Quilts Project and Give Me Life: CPA Prison Arts Program
DESCRIPTION:Stitching Time features 12 quilts created by men who are incarcerated in the Louisiana State Penitentiary\, also known as Angola Prison. These works of art\, and accompanying recorded interviews\, tell the story of a unique inside-outside quilt collaboration. The exhibition focuses our attention on the quilt creators\, people often forgotten by society when discussing the history of the U.S. criminal justice system. Also on view in the gallery will be Give Me Life\, a selection of works from women artists presently or formerly incarcerated at York Correctional Institution\, a maximum security state prison in Niantic\, CT\, courtesy of Community Partners in Action (CPA). The CPA’s Prison Arts program was initiated in 1978 and is one of the longest-running projects of its kind in the United States. Founded in 1875\, CPA is celebrating 150 years of working within the criminal justice system.

SUMMARY:To See this Place: Awakening to Our Common Home
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition: Environmental threats and climate change are urgent matters of concern at Jesuit universities\, where conversations on this topic often take place in reference to two documents by Pope Francis: Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home (2015) and the 2023 update Laudate Deum. Artists play an indispensable role in our collective response to climate change. To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home\, curated by Al Miner and David Brinker\, will present work by Athena LaTocha\, Mary Mattingly\, and Tyler Rai\, three contemporary artists whose outlook resonates with the themes of Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum. Embodying a breadth of personal\, geographic\, and cultural backgrounds\, the three artists create works strongly associated with a sense of place\, whether specific or imaginary. They employ media as diverse as photography\, sculpture\, video\, and painting\, and often incorporate materials sourced from particular locales. Yet the artists draw forth broader themes from this particularity\, critiquing political and economic systems that perpetuate destructive self-interest and drawing attention to people who have been marginalized and historically excluded or harmed. The works are artistically compelling yet can inspire us to creativity and boldness in our efforts to address climate change. This exhibition will open at Saint Louis University’s Museum of Contemporary Religious Art in Fall 2025.

SUMMARY:Opening Night Reception: To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition: Environmental threats and climate change are urgent matters of concern at Jesuit universities\, where conversations on this topic often take place in reference to two documents by Pope Francis: Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home (2015) and the 2023 update Laudate Deum. Artists play an indispensable role in our collective response to climate change. To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home\, curated by Al Miner and David Brinker\, will present work by Athena LaTocha\, Mary Mattingly\, and Tyler Rai\, three contemporary artists whose outlook resonates with the themes of Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum. Embodying a breadth of personal\, geographic\, and cultural backgrounds\, the three artists create works strongly associated with a sense of place\, whether specific or imaginary. They employ media as diverse as photography\, sculpture\, video\, and painting\, and often incorporate materials sourced from particular locales. Yet the artists draw forth broader themes from this particularity\, critiquing political and economic systems that perpetuate destructive self-interest and drawing attention to people who have been marginalized and historically excluded or harmed. The works are artistically compelling yet can inspire us to creativity and boldness in our efforts to address climate change. This exhibition will open at Saint Louis University’s Museum of Contemporary Religious Art in Fall 2025. \nThis event forms part of the Edwin L. Weisl\, Jr. Lectureships in Art History\, funded by the Robert Lehman Foundation. The conversation will also be livestreamed on The Quick Live.

SUMMARY:Sacred Space: A Brandywine Workshop and Archives Print Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Space\, organized by guest curator Juanita Sunday\, 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 FUAM’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: Mikel Elam\, Veil\, 2019\, offset lithograph and screenprint on paper.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Streaming: Sculpture by Christy Rupp
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the opening of Streaming: Sculpture by Christy Rupp on Thursday\, January 18 from 6-8 p.m. \nGet the first glimpse of the exhibition in our Walsh Gallery\, and enjoy some wine\, cheese\, and conversation in the Quick Center for the Arts lobby. \nThe party starts after the opening lecture\, which will be presented by artist Christy Rupp in the Kelley Theatre. To register for that event\, click here. \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. \nChristy Rupp\, Remaining Balance Insufficient\, 2015\, welded steel\, gold credit cards\, and plastic gift cards. © Christy Rupp
