ExhibitionSept. 24–Oct. 3Two Sistahs Explore Double Consciousness in Their Postmodern Worlds: NaKeisha Gumbs '07 and Tonya Taylor '02 show artwork in an exhibition sponsored by Multicultural Affairs. Chase Hall GalleryBates College Museum of ArtMuseum hours: 10am-5pm Tuesday-SaturdayThrough Oct. 3Bernard Langlais: Medium and Abstraction: Though known for his large, whimsical wildlife sculptures, Bernard Langlais also made bold abstract wood reliefs that fused his Maine upbringing with influences from the New York avant-garde. This exhibition, co-curated by Erin Gilligan '09, focuses on a select group of Langlais' abstractions and includes an introduction to an outside context influencing him in their creation. Langlais exploited the possibilities of his medium through found objects ranging from toothpicks to driftwood, and in so doing established an intimate approach to the character of wood. Selections from the Marsden Hartley Memorial Collection: In 1951, in compliance with the artist's wish, the heirs of the Marsden Hartley estate left as a gift to Bates College the last remaining effects from the pioneering American modernist's home and studio in Corea, Maine. This exhibit comprises highlights from this extraordinary collection of drawings, paintings, photography, personal objects and ephemera. Through Dec. 11Our Positive Bodies: Mapping Our Treatment, Sharing Our Choices: Created in Nairobi, Kenya, by the Trust for Indigenous Culture and Health in 2004, this exhibition explores "body mapping," a technique devised to help HIV-positive women cope with the fact that they were likely to die prematurely and leave their children behind. In body mapping, life-size silhouette self-portraits express the feelings, memories, treatment and identities of those likely to die of AIDS. These powerful portraits and the celebratory process used to paint them allow HIV-positive people to explore both their own options and ways that other people influence their ability to stay healthy. |
