A show of new art work from the studio faculty at Wellesley, curated by Elizabeth Wycoff. The design for the promotional material (pictured above) is about the hiding and displaying objects. There was no overarching theme for the show, mostly because it was all new work, but the title suggests the feeling of vulnerability that the faculty felt exposing their work to the community. I was especially excited to see my former photo professor Christine Rogers' work, especially because it was never something we talked about much in class. Her photos are accompanied by a video and the entire presentation is overwhelming, uneasy, comical, and critical. Before the show officially opened, my museum issues class had a tour and we were able to focus on things like the space that the artists used, the hanging of the objects, and the diplomacy required to fit 13 artists with differing goals into a shared space.
