希拉里 Knecht, ’13, curated Crowded
Crowded brought together an array of images to suggest the variety of ways that crowds permeate our lives, as well as the divergent effects crowds have on us. 的艺术品 in this exhibition depict crowded objects, figures, and picture planes to reveal the emotional and psychological consequences of crowding, and at times a combination of contrasting effects. Crowds can cause claustrophobia, loss of individual identity, loneliness, and a feeling of being overwhelmed; they can also prompt jubilation and a sense of community. 的艺术品 in Crowded capture these effects by representing crowds of people that range from seemingly joyful to violent, as well as packed compositions and objects ranging from heaps of trash to indistinct forms.
Arranged to evoke experiences encountered in a crowd, Crowded displayed artwork spanning over 150 years from the Tang’s Collection by Arman, Eugene Atget, Peggy Bacon, Michael Harrison, Winslow Homer, Lester Johnson, LeRoy Neiman, Eduardo Paolozzi, George Segal, W. 尤金·史密斯，B. Stroock, Johannes Van Der Beek, Andy Warhol, Emmett Williams, G.B. Wilson, and Garry Winogrand. Photo 信贷ed to: Rachel Seligman.
迪伦Lustrin, ’13, curated As the Night the Day
As the Night the Day interrogated our assumptions about the symbolic meaning of darkness and its relationship to light. In Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, God creates light in a void of darkness — a light explicitly deemed “good” and placed in direct opposition to darkness. This dichotomy has become deeply embedded in western 文化. Much as the effect of a dilated pupil, deprived of light for an extended period of time, the works in As the Night the Day transform darkness, making it a 焦点. By rendering negative space as an integral compositional element, these works illuminate darkness and suggest its necessity for visual perception. 这次展览 features artwork from the Tang Collection by Grace Hartigan, Edward Hopper, Barbara Morgan, and Krzysztof Wodiczko.
