Curator Lecture with Maggie Leininger Tuesday, November 16, 2021, 4:00-5:00 pm (EDT) Peeler Art Center, Lower Level Gallery Out of Isolation features work from the DePauw University Art Collection that captures a sense of isolation, contemplation, reflection, and observation. The exhibition includes a wide range of media including paintings, photographs, drawings, prints, videos and Japanese screens that provide viewers with a contemplative environment encompassing remote landscapes, desolate streets, and empty interiors. Curated with assistance by DePauw University’s Klauser Fellow, Austin Canales, Out of Isolation visually articulates moments that many of us most likely have experienced during our remote living/working/studying during the past year and a half. The exhibition will be on view from August 30 thru December 10, 2021. This gallery talk given by Director and Curator Maggie Leininger will be free and open to the public in the lower gallery in Peeler Art Center. |
