Out of Isolation: Work From the DePauw University Permanent Art Collection
On view: August 23 – December 10, 2021
Greencastle, IN – DePauw University presents Out of Isolation: Work from the DePauw University Permanent Art Collection opens August 23 and runs through December 10, 2021.
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. Some of the featured work was made in response to the 1918 flu pandemic, another historic event that dramatically impacted history and mirrors recent events that prompted many to engage with their environment in a completely different way. Curated with assistance by DePauw University’s Klauser Fellow, Austin Canales, Out of Isolation seeks to connect contemporary events with observations that artists have made throughout time.
Online viewing options, lectures, and exhibition materials are available for remote engagement. For an up-to-date listing of free events and lectures associated with the exhibition, please visit: https://www.depauw.edu/arts-and-culture/arts/peeler/exhibits/
